I read this as a child myself in a set of paperbacks fifty years ago. It still makes a great listen today with our poor orphan girl who has to engage her new family.

anne of green gables by l m montgomery chapter two matthew cuthbert is surprised matthew cuthbert and the sorrell mare jogged comfortably over the eight miles to bright river it was a pretty road running along between snug farmsteads with now and again a bit of balsamy fur wood to drive through or a hollow where wild plums hung out their filmy bloom the air was sweet with the breath of many apple orchards and the meadows sloped away in the distance to horizon mists of pearl and purple while the little birds sang as if it were the one day of summer and all the year matthew enjoyed the drive after his own fashion except during the moments when he met women and had to nod to them for in prince edward island you are supposed to nod to all and sundry you meet on the road whether you know them or not matthew dreaded all women except marilla and mrs rachel he had an uncomfortable feeling that the mysterious creatures were secretly laughing at him he may have been quite right in thinking so for he was an odd-looking personage with an ungainly figure and long iron gray hair that touched his stooping shoulders and a full soft brown beard which he had worn ever since he was 20. in fact he had looked at 20 very much as he looked at 60 lacking a little of the grayness when he reached bright river there was no sign of any train he thought he was too early so he tied his horse in the yard of the small bright river hotel and went over to the station house the long platform was almost deserted the only living creature in sight being a girl who was sitting on a pile of shingles at the extreme end matthew barely noting that it was a girl sidled past her as quickly as possible without looking at her had he looked he could hardly have failed to notice the tense rigidity and expectation of her attitude and expression she was sitting there waiting for something or somebody and since sitting and waiting was the only thing to do just then she sat and waited with all her might and mane matthew encountered the station master locking up the ticket office preparatory to going home for supper and asked him if the 5 30 train would soon be along the 5 30 train has been in and gone half an hour ago answered that brisk official but there was a passenger dropped off for you a little girl she's sitting out there on the shingles i asked her to go into the ladies waiting room but she informed me gravely that she preferred to stay outside there was more scope for imagination she said she's a case i should say i'm not expecting a girl said matthew blankly it's a boy i've come for he should be here mrs alexander spencer was to bring him over from nova scotia for me the station master whistled guess there's been some mistake he said mrs spencer came off the train with that girl and gave her into my charge said you and your sister were adopting her from an orphan asylum and that you would be along for her presently that's all i know about it and i haven't got any more orphans concealed hereabouts i don't understand said matthew helplessly wishing that marilla was at hand to cope with the situation well you'd better question the girl said the station master carelessly i dare say she'll be able to explain she's got a tongue of her own that's certain maybe they were out of boys of the brand you wanted he walked jauntily away being hungry and the unfortunate matthew was left to do that which was harder for him than bearding a lion in its den walk up to a girl a strange girl an orphan girl and demand of her why she wasn't a boy matthew groaned in spirit as he turned about and shuffled gently down the platform towards her she had been watching him ever since he had passed...

beauty and the beast author unknown this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recorded by laurie ann walden beauty and the beast author unknown there was once a merchant who had been very rich at one time but who having had heavy losses was compelled to retire to a little cottage in the country where he lived with his three daughters the two elder ones were very much discontented at their poverty and were always grumbling and making complaints but the youngest one who was called beauty and who was as amiable as she was handsome tried all she could to comfort her father and make his home happy once when he was going on a journey to try and mend his affairs he called them around him and asked them what he should bring them when he returned the two elder ones wanted each a number of nice presents but beauty kissing him sweetly said she would be content with a rose so when the merchant was on his way back he came to an elegant garden of which the gate stood open and thinking of beauty's rose he went in and plucking a beautiful one prepared to proceed on his journey as he turned to go he saw a hideous beast coming toward him armed with a sword this terrible creature reproached him for stealing his flowers of which he was very choice and threatened to kill him on the spot the merchant begged for his life and said that he had only taken a single one to please his daughter beauty on this the beast said gruffly well i will let you off if you will bring one of your daughters here in your place but she must come here willingly and meanwhile you may stay and rest in my palace until tomorrow but as you well may believe the poor father did not feel much like eating or sleeping although everything was done for his comfort and in the morning the beast sent him home upon a beautiful horse but though the birds sang around him and the sun shone brightly and all nature was smiling on his path the heart of the poor merchant was heavy when he thought of his beloved daughters when he came near his home his children came forth to meet him but seeing the sadness of his face and his eyes filled with tears they asked him the cause of his trouble giving the rose to beauty he told her all the two elder sisters laid all the blame upon beauty who cried bitterly and said that as she was the cause of her father's misfortune she alone must suffer for it and was quite willing to go so beauty got ready for the journey at once the father who meant to return to the beast himself after embracing his children tried to dissuade her but in vain and so the two set out together for the beast's palace much to the secret joy of the envious sisters when they arrived at the palace the doors opened of themselves sweet music was heard and they found an elegant supper prepared as soon as they had refreshed themselves the beast entered and said in a mild tone beauty did you come here willingly to take the place of your father yes sir she answered in a sweet but trembling voice so much the better for you replied the beast your father can stay here tonight but he must go home in the morning the beast then retired giving beauty so kind of look as he went out that she felt quite encouraged the next morning when her father left her she cheered his heart by telling him that she thought she could soften the beast's heart and induce him to spare her life after he was gone she entered an elegant room on the door of which was written in letters of gold beauty's room lying on the table was a portrait of herself said in gold and diamonds and on the wall these words beauty is queen here all things will obey...
