Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

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.

Wholesome classic

Loved the reading of it, loved the story, loved the timeless life lessons. Always wanted to read this book.

A charming story of life

This is a wonderful children's classic, done well. While I didn't LOVE the reader's voice, it wasn't unpleasant, and she did have an excellent Maine accent (authentic sounding to ant New Englander's ear) for her characters' voices, so that this true Maine gem sounded just right. I think that you will enjoy it too!

There's a brook, but not a common brook.

Would you listen to Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm again? Why?

Well of course, it's a wonderful period piece. Another factor is that it is a book and Rebecca a character that have been influential in so many lives.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Seriously? Rebecca of course, not that aunt Jane, Mr Aladdin , Mr and Mrs Cobb on and on down to the simple See Saw Simpson weren't wonderfully drawn and engaging characters.

Which scene was your favorite?

I think my favorite scene was when she first meet Mr Adam Ladd ( Mr Aladdin) , falling off the porch.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The scene with the borrowed baby and the conversation between Aunt Jane and Rebecca .

Any additional comments?

This story is definitely a should read, along with the Anne of Green Gables ( Avonlee, Island) and possibly the first Pollyanna.

Delightful listening

What a delightful story to listen to especially with an 8 yr old! We laughed and cried and enjoyed the colorful descriptions and clear but gentle telling of the the very real challenges of life.

One of the best books ever

Recommend this book to anyone who loves books. So sweet. I love the story. It is sooo beautiful.🫶🏻❤️

Still Great After All These Years

It has been fifty years since I read the covers off this book along with those of Mark Twain and other such. I think I enjoyed it more this time than my first read. How well the author deals with life issues and the death of love ones. She takes everything head on and her good natured leading lady takes the world as she finds it. It reminds me of Anne of Green Gables only with a gritty flavor.
