MARILLA OF GREEN GABLES

Fans of L.M. Montgomery's ANNE OF GREEN GABLES will rejoice to hear Cassandra Campbell's warm and spirited narration of the imagined life of Marilla Cuthbert. Like the original, this prequel sweetly evokes the magic of life on Prince Edward Island. A pitch-perfect tribute to the beloved series, the story details Marilla's early years, when she struggled with grief, guilt, and the difficulty of staying true to her convictions. With a steady and unhurried delivery that encourages listeners to savor the details of life in small-town Avonlea, Campbell brings forth a Marilla who is strong and determined but also vulnerable. Campbell's skill in communicating Marilla's quiet melancholy and ever-growing confidence gives shape and depth to this remarkable woman with a rich and storied past.
