Amazon.com Review Author Jack London wrote Kate Douglas Wiggin a letter about her classic Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm from the headquarters of the First Japanese Army in Manchuria in 1904: "May I thank you for Rebecca?... I would have quested the wide world over to make her mine, only I was born too long ago and she was born but yesterday.... Why could she not have been my daughter? Why couldn't it have been I who bought the three hundred cakes of soap? Why, O, why?" Mark Twain called Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm "beautiful and warm and satisfying."
Who is this beguiling creature? The irrepressible 10-year-old Rebecca Rowena Randall burst into the world of children's book characters (and her new life in Maine) in 1903 when storybook girls were gentle and proper. A "bird of a very different feather," she had "a small, plain face illuminated by a pair of eyes carrying such messages, such suggestions, such hints of sleeping power and insight, that one never tired of looking into their shining depths.... " Soon enough, she wins over her prim Aunt Miranda, the whole town, and thousands of readers everywhere with her energetic, indomitable spirit. This beautiful trade edition features the artwork of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm's original illustrator Helen Mason Grose, with 6 full- color plates and 32 pen-and-ink drawings. (Ages 9 and older)
Review "Beautiful and warm and satisfying." --Mark Twain

Kindle Review: Anne of Green Gables...with a Maine Flair By MainelyClassics Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is about an unusual, spirited girl who is sent from another part of Maine to be raised by her two aunts in York County. The experience turns out to be, as her mother had predicted, "the making of [her]". The intended audience is the same as that for Anne of Green Gables. A lot of similarities with the Anne-girl such as the use of the expression "stuff and nonsense" and "I'd like to eat color, drink it and sleep in it." Excellent story!I have downloaded more of this author's books in hopes that they will be as great as this one was. If you liked Anne of Green Gables, or Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, you will like more of Lucy Maud Mongtgomery's series like the "Emily" books or her "Pat" books. You also will like books by Louisa May Alcott such as An Old-Fashioned Girl and Eight Cousins (and its sequel Rose in Bloom). Although it has been a little while since I read them, Pollyanna and A Little Princess are also classics along this line and VERY readable. And I believe that every one of these books is a FREE Kindle download away...This free Kindle edition of March 17, 2006 was fine, no editing issues of note, just the usual line break/margin unevenness. Actually the first nice usage that I have seen of italics in this book, a long passage that is a story that Rebecca writes in italics, very readable.I hadn't written very many reviews. However, in considering Kindle book choices, I was sorry to see so few reviews of Kindle versions, especially when comparing two or more similar electronic renderings. So I am ramping up my reviews while I have the opportunity.

My mother bought the book for me some years ago because she thought it would be good for me to read classics. Thinking that it would be boring, I didn't read it for a long time. But a couple of days ago I was bored and picked it up. Soon, I fell under the same spell Rebecca cast over nearly every person she met. Around the age of 10 or 11, she was forced to leave her home, Sunnybrook Farm, to live in a brick house with her spinster aunts in Riverboro. Her aunts Jane and Miranda weren't used to young people, but they let Rebecca stay with them in order to help out her poor widowed mother who had 6 other children to care for. Rebecca charmed nearly all the citizens of Riverboro, Aunt Jane, and, in time, her strict, austere Aunt Miranda.There were many things to love about the story. In fact, it has become one of my favorite books of all time. (and I am a voracious reader) The characters were all realistically and richly delineated. Rebecca especially came alive for me. She was such a talented, imaginative, caring girl. She was the kind of person that anyone would love to have as a friend. Actually, I would want to be her. I didn't want to stop reading about her adventures. The events played before my mind's eye like a movie. I traveled back in time, to 100 years ago. This is considered a children's book, but it has truths and insights that people of all ages can learn from. Several of the passages, the literary allusions, and Rebecca's poems were so beautiful that I had to reread them. The language was eloquent. As another reviewer said, the vocabulary wasn't "dumbed down" like the vocabularies of modern children's books, and there was a protagonist one could love.The only part about the novel that I didn't like was that there isn't a sequel. I would love to find out what Rebecca's career turns out to be. I believe that she marries Mr. Ladd (a.k.a. "Mr. Aladdin"), but I wish we could know for sure.Overall, I highly reccomend this book to readers of all ages. If you like books with wonderful supporting characters and an unusual, loveable heroine, treat yourself to "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm".
24 of 25 people found the following review helpful. Rebecca is the Girl's Complement to Tom Sawyer By David Bond I tried to read this book to my 5 year old daughters, (they loved Anne of Green Gables), but the language was too advanced for them. However I couldn't put it down. Ms. Wiggin's use of turn of phrase and metaphor remind me so much of Mark Twain. I'm in awe of their common talent for making it possible to see a concept in a new light by merely a precise juxtaposition of words. Much of this might be lost on younger readers, but my daughters were nevertheless facinated by Rebecca's spirit; so much so, that they asked me to tell them the whole story when I had finished.
