Shirley Temple did a lot to make Rebecca famous when she won the
world's heart in the movie we all remember. But the story is more
than Temple, the film, or our memory of it: this is the tale of the
little showgirl who, sent to the country to live with prim and
proper relatives, is forbidden to do anything, well, showy.
But Rebecca has other ideas, of course, and you know she'll win
over the hearts and minds of everyone who'll see her show. . .
.
Certainly she won over Jack London. In 1904 he wrote to Wiggin
herself: "May I thank you for Rebecca. . . ? I would have quested
the wide world over to make her mine, only I was born too long ago
and she was born but yesterday.... Why could she not have been my
daughter? Why couldn't it have been I who bought the three hundred
cakes of soap? Why, O, why?" And Mark Twain, too: he described
"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" as "beautiful and warm and
satisfying."
