About this ebook

Step through the golden gates of childhood in Kate Douglas Wiggin’s classic, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm

Eleven-year-old Rebecca is leaving Sunnybrook Farm to live with her spinster aunts and become the educated daughter her family needs. Her aunts resent her father, who left behind nothing for his wife and seven children but a forty-eight-dollar mortgage. When Rebecca climbs out of the stagecoach with her pink parasol, wide-eyed and nervous about her new life, she is quickly met with the strict rules of Aunt Miranda, who has no patience for the antics of a rambunctious child. With her winning nature and lively demeanor, Rebecca becomes the young woman no one expected her to be.

Ratings and reviews

What a lovely old fashioned story of love and hard work. Like Anne of Green Gables or A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, the characters are well drawn, reflecting the values of another time.
