But the story is more than Temple, the film, or our memory of it: this is the tale of the little showgirl who, sent to the country to live with prim and proper relatives, is forbidden to do anything, well, showy.<P> But Rebecca has other ideas, of course, and you know she'll win over the hearts and minds of everyone who'll see her show. . . .<P> Certainly she won over Jack London. In 1904 he wrote to Wiggin herself: "May I thank you for Rebecca. . . ? I would have quested the wide world over to make her mine, only I was born too long ago and she was born but yesterday.... Why could she not have been my daughter? Why couldn't it have been I who bought the three hundred cakes of soap? Why, O, why?" And Mark Twain, too: he described <I>Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm</I> as "beautiful and warm and satisfying." 1063767 1903 Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm total:1038|5:175|4:363|3:375|2:97|1:28| 1038 3674 1324 85 844659 0140367594 9780140367591 82 5 3.54 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178843549m/844659.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/844659.Rebecca_of_Sunnybrook_Farm 4 3 false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1978 Wed Mar 05 12:05:04 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 05 12:12:23 -0800 2008
