Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm [antikvár]

PUFFIN CLASSICS REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM You have probably never met anyone quite like Rebecca Rowena Randall. Her elderly spinster aunts in Riverboro certainly hadn't. And indeed, they didn't choose to do so. What did they want with a headstrong, wild and uncontrollable ten- year-old? It's a bit of a shock for Rebecca too, leaving the warm chaos of her farmland home to be greeted by the cold hospitality of the brick house. But it would take an awful lot to dampen this particular girl's irrepressible zest for life and passion for new adventure, and Rebecca is soon embroiled in various escapades, from door-to-door selling to inviting missionaries home for tea! This classic story, first published in 1903, follows her life from the age of ten to seventeen - seven eventful years lived absolutely up to the brim! Kate Douglas Wiggin was born in 1856 in Phila- delphia, and moved to San Francisco where she ran the first kindergarten in the United States. She wrote adult novels, but is best remembered for her books for children.
