Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by Kate Douglas Wiggin

4.0

---

There's so much in this book, I probably will read it again and again someday. A little confusing, or I'm not sure how to describe it. I guess I just wondered sometimes what the point of the story was and I guess it was just that, simple. Rebecca goes to live with her aunts and grows up. Rebecca seemed almost too perfect to me, even though she wasn't. Loved the poetry and mentioning of some fairy tales/stories. The writing - exquisite. Very surprising, did not expect it. Felt so much like 1900s (was published in 1903 after all) Reminded me a little of Anne of Green Gables, Emily of New Moon, A Little Princess and Pollyanna.
