About this listen

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.

It's as good a book at 48 as it was when I was only 8!

Nostalgic

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.

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

Wholesome classic

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!

A charming story of life

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.

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

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.

Excellent story and narrator

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.

So sweet
