Summary
Summary
Louisa May Alcott's classic tale about domesticity, work and true love is as popular today as it has ever been. The story follows the March sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy - as they come of age and attempt to find their place in the world. Considered a semi-autobiographical novel, it is loosely based on the lives of the author and her three sisters and still finds resonance in modern society. Little Women is a popular classic that has been adapted for both stage and screen, with each generation finding new ways of enjoying the beloved sisters' journey.

Horn Book Review
The complete text of Alcott's classic tale of Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy March is reprinted with a ribbon bookmark and a list of open-ended questions (""Do you think she overreacted, or was her anger justified?"") designed to stimulate thought. Repeated scratchboard illustrations head each chapter, giving the book a generic appearance. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Library Journal Review
One of the most beloved American classics is beautifully and eloquently brought to life in this recording filled with passion and spirit. Four sisters in 19th-century New England grow from little girls to respectable young women. Each sister carries unique hopes for her future, but Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy learn that life often has other plans in store. Their coming-of-age stories are filled with hilarity, humility, friendship, heartbreak, and duty. Characters come alive with unique voices and mannerisms, flawlessly narrated by Susie Berneis. VERDICT This new recording of this time-honored novel is essential listening for fans of American literature.-Erin Cataldi, Johnson Cty. P.L., Franklin, IN © Copyright 2015.
