Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (play)

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is a play written by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Charlotte Thompson.

Orphan Rebecca Rowena Randall is sent to live with her dour aunts, Jane and Miranda Sawyer.

Eventually her light-hearted optimism wins over her aunts and attracts the interest of local boy Adam Ladd.

Author Kate Douglas Wiggin's bestselling children's novel Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm was first published in 1903.

In the summer of that year, Wiggin was approached by fellow author Charlotte Thompson about adapting the Rebecca stories for the stage.
