About this ebook

Sent to live with her stern aunts in a quiet village, ten-year-old Rebecca brings a whirlwind of creative energy, poetry, and accidental mischief to their gloomy home. Facing poverty and harsh rules, her optimism and determination slowly transform the hearts of everyone around her.

****************************

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is a heartwarming, classic story about family, growing up, and the incredible power of creativity. The compassionate mind behind this heartwarming tale was Kate Douglas Wiggin, an American author and educator born in Philadelphia in 1856. Wiggin possessed a lifelong passion for children's welfare and was a pioneer in the field of early childhood education. Notably, she established the very first free kindergarten in San Francisco. When she turned to writing to raise funds for her educational projects, she funnelled this passion into her literature. First published in 1903, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm drew upon Wiggin’s own childhood memories of rural New England, allowing her to capture the social dynamics of small-town life with incredible warmth and accuracy, establishing her as a beloved voice in children's fiction.
