REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM was first published October 7, 1903. Within a few days its popularity was assured, and within seven years it has attained the extraordinary sale of 337,000 copies, without the aid of either illustrations or sensational advertising. No book of recent years has succeeded in pleasing so many classes of readers, — the youthful and the aged, the discriminating critic and the reader who reads for sheer pleasure. " Rebecca is delightful from beginning to end; she is just the nicest child in American literature," said Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the author of " The Story of a Bad Boy," and perhaps there can be no better description of youthful Rebecca. As a classic for old and young, "Rebecca "will take rank beside "Little Women "in the hearts of the American public, who mingle tears and smiles in affectionate interest over her progress toward womanhood. It has been translated into several lan¬guages, and is used for English reading in the public schools of Berlin.
