KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN

Deanna (RTL) Mcfadden; Jamel (ILT) Akib; Kate Douglas Smith WigginTalkative, ten-year-old Rebecca goes to live with her spinster aunts, one harsh and demanding, the other soft and sentimental, with whom she spends seven difficult but rewarding years growing up. An abridged version of Kate Douglas Wiggin's classic story of talkative, ten-year-old Rebecca's adventures after she leaves her home at Sunnybrook Farm to go live in town with her spinster aunts, one harsh and demanding, the other soft and sentimental. Eleven-year-old Rebecca Randall is quite a handful—and now she's leaving her beloved Sunnybrook Farm to live with her well-to-do elderly aunts and get an education. But they were expecting Rebecca's quiet, hard-working older sister instead. Can the bright-eyed and talkative girl win them over…especially her strict, rule-bound Aunt Miranda? Just as Rebecca's "grand spirit" charms everyone in the story, it will captivate readers, too.

Katharine «Kitty» Schuyler es una joven americana de diecinueve años que desembarca en Inglaterra junto a su anciana tía Celia para recorrer la ruta de las más importantes ciudades catedralicias. Paseando entre vetustos montones de piedras y ciudades repletas de historia, Kitty pronto vislumbra un atractivo añadido al paisaje arquitectónico: el joven Jack Copley, americano como ella, que está realizando el mismo recorrido turístico. En el momento del fortuito encuentro resulta evidente la mutua atracción existente entre los jóvenes, y así da comienzo una particular persecución del amor en la que Jack no solo cortejará a Kitty, sino que tendrá que ganarse la atención de su cegata tía, que no parece advertir su presencia a pesar de encontrárselo por todas partes durante el «asedio».
