Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm

By: Kate Douglas Wiggin

Narrated by: Lorna Raver

The indomitable 10-year-old Rebecca has been sent away from her home at Sunnybrook Farm to live with her two spinster aunts in the quiet town of Riverboro in order to be brought up as a proper little lady.

Precocious, curious, and full of creative energy, Rebecca isn't quite ready to be tamed yet. 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 her rigid aunt...and she even manages to become a fine young lady in the process.

The unconventional and charismatic Rebecca, a wholly new kind of girl character when she was first introduced in 1903, has since become one of the most beloved characters in children's literature.

Critic reviews

"Beautiful and warm and satisfying." (Mark Twain)
"Why could [Rebecca] not have been my daughter? Why couldn't it have been I who bought the 300 cakes of soap? Why, O, why?" (Jack London)

Nostalgic

It's as good a book at 48 as it was when I was only 8!

Innocent and refreshing

A cute story that was a pleasant change from some of the heavier novels that I have been reading lately. A refreshing change of pace. Period piece that shows a young girl growing up. Very straightforward, and you get what you'd expect.

Sweet inspiring story

This is such a sweet inspiring story about finding passion in life despite your circumstances.

Excellent story and narrator

This is one of my all time favorite audiobooks! The near raider doesn't awesome job with the boys of the characters

So sweet

A wonderful story of such a different time. Rebecca was such a special girl and her difficult aunt and her mean-ness that made Rebecca tougher. The reader was especially good as well.
