Eleven-year-old Rebecca Randall is quite a handful-and now she's leaving her beloved Sunnybrook Farm to live with her well-to-do elderly aunts and get an education. But they were expecting Rebecca's quiet, hard-working older sister instead. Can the bright-eyed and talkative girl win them over…especially her strict, rule-bound Aunt Miranda? Just as Rebecca's "grand spirit" charms everyone in the story, it will captivate readers, too.
Precocious, curious, and full of creative energy, ten-year-old Rebecca isn’t quite ready to be tamed into a proper little lady. The prim and demanding Aunt Miranda has her hands full. But soon, Rebecca’s irrepressible spirit and bright intelligence win the hearts of all in Riverboro, including Miranda’s.
“Beautiful and warm and satisfying.”—Mark Twain
Precocious, curious, and full of creative energy, ten-year-old Rebecca isn't quite ready to be tamed into a proper little lady. The prim and demanding Aunt Miranda has her hands full. But soon, Rebecca's irrepressible spirit and bright intelligence win the hearts of all in Riverboro, including Miranda's.
This unforgettable classic has been captivating children and adults alike for more than a century. Rebecca's widowed mother has a failing farm, meager resources, and seven children to raise. When her spinster sisters offer Rebecca a home and an education, Mrs. Randall bundles her second eldest into a stagecoach with a kiss and an admonition to stay out of mischief. Could she be asking too much of the free-spirited imp with sparkling eyes and insatiable curiosity? Kate Douglas Wiggin wrote children's books to finance the school she started in the slums of San Francisco in 1878. Her first book was published in 1883, and by 1887 she had become a popular success. But the publication of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm in 1903 won her major acclaim both here and in Great Britain.
