Timothy Jessup is a wise and sensitive 11 year old orphan boy. He has an inseparable friend, a beautiful and fiery toddler Gabriella, who is called Lady gay, and a faithful dog named Rags. They are forced to take care of themselves and Timothy takes the role of guardian for Lady Gay. Forces of circumstance bring the children to White Farm where they are, reluctantly and quite temporarily, taken in by two older women. During their stay at the farm, they are both dealing with anguishing issues from their past. Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856-1923) was an American educator and author of children's stories, most notably the classic children's novel Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. She started the first free kindergarten in San Francisco in 1878 (the Silver Street Free Kindergarten). With her sister during the 1880s, she also established a training school for kindergarten teachers. Kate Wiggin devoted her adult life to the welfare of children in an era when children were commonly thought of as cheap labor.
Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856–1923) was an eminent American educator, reformer, and author, best known for her substantial contributions to children's literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Philadelphia, Wiggin devoted much of her life to the welfare of children, which was reflected not only in her career but also in her literary works. Her narratives often interweave charming humor with social reform themes, particularly focusing on the lives and welfare of children. Wiggin's career as an author commenced with the publication of 'The Story of Patsy' in 1883, a work inspired by her experiences in the kindergarten movement. Perhaps her most renowned novel is 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm' (1903), a book that secured her position among the leading writers of children's fiction and remains a classic in the genre to this day. 'Timothy's Quest' (1890) is another noteworthy addition to her oeuvre, a poignant tale that showcases her flair for creating endearing characters and her sensitivity to the societal issues of her time. Wiggin's literary style often evokes a sense of nostalgia, with a clear, accessible narrative voice that resonates with both young and old readers alike. Her works continue to be celebrated for their contribution to children's literature and their insight into human nature and social conditions of her era.
