The Flag-Raising

By: Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin

The Flag-Raising" is an ancient Community human sprits story book written by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin. This story, constructed with care and remarkable know-how, exemplifies Wiggin's present for telling deeply emotional and inspiring tales. Set in a tiny American network, the tale revolves around the making plans and satisfaction of a flag-elevating rite. Wiggin makes use of this focal factor to research issues related to country wide delight, cohesion, and a network's collective memory primarily based on shared values and customs. The personalities are certainly depicted, each contributing to the tapestry of communal life and the experience of belonging that the flag represents. Wiggin's wording is sleek and evocative, communicating the core of the American manner of existence in addition to the enduring concepts symbolized with the aid of the flag. Her potential to weave non-public memories into larger topics of patriotism and communal engagement makes "The Flag-Raising" a fascinating read. The work of literature serves as a reminder of the significance of banding collectively to celebrate and guard the ideas that define a country. "The Flag-Raising" exemplifies Wiggin's lengthy impact as a creator able to touching her readers' hearts while inspiring them to bear in mind their very own contributions to the cloth of their communities.

New Chronicles of Rebecca

Novel

By: Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin

Miss Miranda Sawyer's old-fashioned garden was the pleasantest spot in Riverboro on a sunny July morning. The rich color of the brick house gleamed and glowed through the shade of the elms and maples. Luxuriant hop-vines clambered up the lightning-rods and waterspouts, hanging their delicate clusters here and there in graceful profusion. Woodbine transformed the old shed and tool-house to things of beauty, and the flower-beds themselves were the prettiest and most fragrant in all the countryside. A row of dahlias ran directly around the garden spot; dahlias scarlet, gold, and variegated. In the very centre was a round plot where the upturned faces of a thousand pansies smiled amid their leaves, and in the four corners were triangular blocks of sweet phlox over which the butterflies fluttered unceasingly...Kate Douglas Wiggin(September 28, 1856 - August 24, 1923) was an American educator and author of children's stories, most notably the classic children's novel Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm

By: Kate Douglas Wiggin,Annie Dalton

A delightful children's classic tells the story of young Rebecca Rowena Randall, the mischief she gets into, and the difference she makes to the lives of those around her Set in Riverboro, Maine, this quintessentially American story is a remarkable depiction of rural life in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. We first meet Rebecca when she is on her way to live with her spinster aunts, Miranda and Jane, due to her family's financial straits. She has left behind her beloved home she grew up in, Sunnybrook Farm, her widowed mother, and six siblings. A cheerful and imaginative little girl, Rebecca soon forms a close bond with her Aunt Jane. Her natural wit and charm also endear Rebecca to the people of the village, who are struck by her positivity. However there remains a shadow over Rebecca's happiness: Aunt Miranda is baffled by her niece's vivid imagination, and childish wonder at all she sees. But when her mother falls ill and Rebecca is forced to look after her old farmstead home as well as her ailing mother, it may just be that Miranda has grown fond of her niece after all.
