Anne of green gables

Адаптированная аудиокнига на английском языке Anne of green gables (stage 2).

‘Морковка! Морковка! ‘ шепчет Гильберт Блайт через школьный стол, и он тянет руку и дёргает Энн за рыжие косы. Но Энн подпрыгивает и кричит, ‘Ты ужасный мальчик! Я ненавижу тебя! ‘ И она сильно ударяет его по голове книгой.
Жизнь в сонной деревне Авонлеа больше не такая скучная после приезда Энн Ширли, чтобы жить с Кафбетами. Они просили чтобы им прислали мальчика сироту, для помощи в работе, на ферме Green Gables. Но вместо этого, они получают Энн, у которой рыжие волосы и веснушки и которая никогда не прекращает говорить.
Она — прекрасный ребенок, но у неё всегда проблемы! Визит от г-жи Линд, потом пирог для жены священика, и проблема с ее волосами…
И после инцидента в школе, заговорит ли она когда нибудь с Гильбертом Блайтом снова?
