Ann Richardson
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm has delighted readers for over 100 years. Published in 1903, when girls were inevitably depicted as pretty, gentle and proper, Rebecca Rowena Randall burst onto the scene of children's literature. Sent to live with her prim and proper Aunt Miranda, who is expecting her much more demure sister, Rebecca is a "bird of a very different feather". She has "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...." To her Aunt Miranda's continual dismay, Rebecca is exuberant, irrepressible, and spirited - not at all "proper" or "demure". She wins over her aunt soon enough, and the whole town, and thousands of readers and listeners everywhere.
In 1904, author Jack London wrote Kate Douglas Wiggin: "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?" And Mark Twain called Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm "beautiful and warm and satisfying". This recording, narrated by Ann Richardson, whose sweet voice has a facility for accents and character voices, is a satisfying listening experience you'll want to revisit. Upcoming from Post Hypnotic Press is a new annotated print/eBook edition of this book, with illustrations from the original publication and a new introduction, as well as a work-book for children.

Listening to this classic was very interesting. It was almost as if I was shuttled back in time and in that quaint little town right there with everyone. There were many references to religion and social status that I was more aware of as an adult; even the writing style was so different from what we are used to nowadays (providing an informal history lesson).
Listening to this audiobook was like opening a time capsule buried a hundred years ago! It may be a good audiobook option for those long family car rides or as a bed time story.
Note: if you are like me and listen to audiobooks at 1.25x, beware. It takes a bit getting used too, as the narrator already speaks rather swiftly and increasing the speed made her sound a bit like the Micro-Machine guy. 😉

A classic worth revisiting!

This book is a great read for both adults and children, it captures small time life at the beginning of the century and would be a wonderful book to illustrate the changes since then. If you're a fan of Anne of Green Gables and Emily of New Moon, you'll enjoy this one. It was published 5 years before Anne and it seems Montgomery was heavily influenced by Rebecca as many of the scenes and characters here were recycled into Montgomery's stories. But Rebecca stands on her own with her down to earth attitude and sense of humor, I loved her as a teen and I still love her today!
The narration was well done, just perfect for the story. She performed accents and voices for the characters, and pulled me right into the story. I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.
Lovely Narration of a Classic

The narrator, Ann Richardson, describes the story's action and the characters' emotions in splendid fashion. Her narrative is so vivid that it's like watching a movie. I love her Maine accent!

An endlessly charming story!

My favorite aspect of Wiggin's novel was Rebecca's character growth. She reigns in her temper and impulsive reactions fairly quickly, and her adolescent mistakes become fortuitous opportunities, such as when she sells a large amount of soap to Adam Ladd. She also possesses a pure heart and genuinely cares about others.
Audiobook Review: I previously listened to (and loved!) the first three Anne of Green Gables novels which were produced by Post Hypnotic Press, so I was looking forward to listening to their adaptation of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Ann Richardson's performance did not disappoint! She brought a liveliness to the characters that was enjoyable and engaging. I especially love listening to classic novels on audiobook, and I would definitely listen to another one of Ann Richardson's narrations :)

I had not read or listened to this book before I listened to this one so have nothing to compare it to but the narrator really was wonderful! Her accent was precious and one I could listen to all day and her voices for the different characters were very believable. One thing I particularly liked was that a lot of the time, you didn't really need to be told who was speaking as it was obvious - that's a true testament to a narrator and not something all can achieve.
It's an easy listen - one that you can listen to whilst doing something else - I was sorting through my hard drive trying to free up space and it made the boring task more bearable and made the time go quickly!
It's one of those 'not a lot happens but by the end of the book a LOT has happened' stories - does that make sense?!
I enjoyed it, but it's not one I think that I would listen to over and over again but should I have kids, I will definitely make sure it's read to them as a bedtime story - it has that kind of feel to it!
Confession - A lot of people seem to compare this to Anne of Green Gables (Rebecca was written first) .. I can't comment as I've not read Anne yet (SHOCK HORROR!)
