shakespearesgirl 's review for:
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
by Kate Douglas Wiggin
I don't know why I never read this book as a child, but lucky for me a friend demanded I read it immediately when she found out I hadn't.
I'm someone who is immensely fond of children's literature, and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm was utterly charming and familiar, even though I'd never read it before. While the plot was nothing unexpected, Rebecca was a wonderful heroine, and her adventures and friends reminded me of Anne Shirley. Rebecca seemed a bit more serious, and her character growth sprang from determination and hard work on her own part. Rebecca is the kind of character other authors try to emulate unsuccessfully.
I think my only complaint with this book is that Adam Ladd and Rebecca never come to any kind of agreement with each other at the end of the book. My romantic's heart demanded a more traditionally romantic ending, but alas.
