Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery – Tantrums, Tears, and Joy
Yesterday00:36:01Tap to summarizeAnne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery – Tantrums, Tears and JoyGet ready to drift off to sleep tonight with a gentle journey back to the quiet, sun-drenched hills of Avonlea. In this sleepy reading of Anne of Green Gables, we follow our imaginative young friend Anne as she overflows with breathless anticipation for her very first Sunday school picnic—and her long-awaited taste of real ice cream. However, the peaceful summer days at Green Gables take a dramatic turn when Marilla’s prized amethyst brooch mysteriously goes missing, casting a shadow of doubt and tears over the little east gable room. But don't worry, dear listener—misunderstandings are softly cleared away, the shadows pass, and our evening ends in pure, restful joy. Unwind, let your shoulders drop, and let the comforting world of Prince Edward Island carry you off into a deep, peaceful sleep. Find Anne of Green Gables by L. M.
