CBC Books reports that Canadian actor Rachel McAdams will be voicing a new audiobook version of Anne of Green Gables.

Actress Rachel McAdams is the narrator of a new audiobook of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables. The book will be released on audible.com on Nov. 22, 2016.

McAdams can currently be seen in theatres opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in the Marvel blockbuster Doctor Strange. Her recent role in the Oscar-winning film Spotlight earned her an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress.

In a behind-the-scenes feature produced by Audible (above), McAdams confessed that Anne of Green Gables was "one of my most beloved books growing up."

"I wanted to be Anne as a little girl and I think a lot of girls do. She's a very strong female character, but not kind of in a typical way," said McAdams.

"It's one of the most exciting things I've ever been asked to do in my whole career."
