“One cannot avoid a shrewd suspicion that some of the episodes are autobiographical, but, whether founded on fact or imagined, they make delightful reading, and worthily maintain the reputation of a writer who has done for the present generation of American and English readers much that Miss Alcott did for its predecessor.” _Spectator, London._ “Rebecca belongs to us and to our century as did Little Nell to the days of Dickens. She is like a May morning, or a bright June day, or an April promise. She has her smiles and her tears, her little hopes and fears and longings and ambitions—but after all is said—she is just Rebecca.” _Portland Daily Press._ With eight illustrations by F. C.
