About this listen
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.

Really enjoyable
My reason to listen to this book is that my favourite Japanese band (REBECCA) took their name from the book. Having seen them in concert earlier in the year and listening almost only to their music from that point on, I felt it was time to familiarise myself with the book that inspired the name. Overall, Rebecca (the book version) is like a female Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Fin. With my interest in symbolism, I found the discussion about the name of the farm interesting. There was also things that spoke to my death studies/grief research, which I wasn't expecting. Overall, I really enjoyed the book. I can understand why the band might like it and why they took the name REBECCA. And while there is no mention of a boat club in Wearham, a town that features in the book, I imagine that REBECCA's song "Wearham Boat Club" is also inspired by the book. After finishing the book, I decided to watch the 1938 movie (directed by Allan Dwan). While I understand that the film is very well regarded - it's so very different from the book and in the end I gave up watching it part way through.

A pleasant reminder of innocent days
It's been a very long time since I first met Miss Rebecca and I have enjoyed making her acquaintance all over again. A great plot and wonderful characters. More action than description when compared to L M Montgommery's Anne books. A pleasant narration.
