Rebecca is sent to live with her elderly aunts Jane and Miranda and must win them over to her independent, curious ways. This handsome edition of the classic story first published in 1903 is decorated with McClintock's old-fashioned, precise illustrations. (c) Copyright 2010.

Another title celebrating a century marker, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by Kate Douglas Wiggin, appears with new illustrations by Barbara McClintock. Her signature artwork with its period details, which appears as full-color plates throughout, seems particularly well suited to this cheery heroine. The illustrations impart a cozy, familiar feel to a long-ago world, and reveals a lively, generous spirit in the heroine who leaves her home to live with her two elderly aunts.
