Her classmates and friends; the young businessman, "Mr. Aladdin"; and in the end, even prim and proper Aunt Miranda can"t help but be won over by Rebecca"s good nature and remarkable spirit.Full of humor and warmth, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is an American treasure. This beautifully produced facsimile, featuring six full-color plates and thirtytwo pen-and-ink drawings by Rebecca"s original illustrator, Helen Mason Grose, is sure to be enjoyed by a new generation.
