App Description

ANNE’S HOUSE OF DREAMS by L. M. Montgomery (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

In this continuation of the Anne of Green Gables series, Anne and Gilbert are finally married and move into their house of dreams. But a new life means new problems to solve, and new surprises.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio's Earphones® Award-winning narrator Susan O'Malley. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“This audiobook carries us into Anne’s seaside home to such great effect that we can almost see Captain Jim smoking his pipe by the fireplace.”— Through the Looking Glass Children’s Book Review
