In spite of her mother’s best efforts, Caddie is as wild as the wind, playing freely and rambunctiously with her two brothers in the Wisconsin backwoods. There are rafts to build and trees to climb and pranks to play. Caddie especially likes to watch her friend Indian John build birchbark canoes at the river. Every day seems wide with possibility - as wide as the frontier. But living on the edge of civilization has its risks, too....

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 202
Little Women itself “has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth.” Little Women has been read “as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well.” Alcott “combines many conventions of the sentimental novel with crucial ingredients of Romantic children's fiction, creating a new form of which Little Women is a unique model.”

Publisher's Summary
This unforgettable children’s classic has been captivating children and adults alike for almost a century. Rebecca’s widowed mother has a failing farm, meager resources, and seven children to raise. When her spinster sisters offer Rebecca a home and an education, Mrs. Randall bundles her second eldest into a stagecoach with a kiss and an admonition to stay out of mischief. Could she be asking too much of the free-spirited imp with sparkling eyes and insatiable curiosity?
Kate Douglas Wiggin wrote children’s books to finance the school she started in the slums of San Francisco in 1878. Her first book was published in 1883, and by 1887 she had become a popular success. But the publication of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, in 1903, won her major acclaim both here and in Great Britain.

A Timeless Story
Where does Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This particular audiobook holds a special place in my heart. Barbara Caruso did a wonderful job as narrator. It was my first experience of this classic book and wowed me from start to finish. I can't rank it numerically because it seems all my favorite audiobooks are my absolute favorite - until I think of the next favorite. But this one is truly one of the special books I think everyone would love, if they have a heart at all.
What other book might you compare Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm to and why?
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm reminded me somewhat of Pollyanna - young girl leaving family or orphaned finding a home with crotchety aunt and softening the old maid's heart while growing into a caring, warm hearted young woman.
Which character – as performed by Barbara Caruso – was your favorite?
Rebecca - of course!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I think this is a book best listened to in segments. It is a story of a young girl over time, and to listen all in one sitting would for me, be too compressing of the impression of Rebecca as she grows from child to (young) adult woman.
