Little Women

By: Louisa May Alcott

Narrated by: Beth Kesler

Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott's most popular and enduring novel, Little Women. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War. It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life.

While her father, the freethinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with such eminent male authors as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with "woman's work," including sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. But she soon discovered she could make more money writing. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the "girl's book" her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America.

Beautiful classic

I loved this book! I really wish I would have read it sooner. It is a great love story. The narrator also does a beautiful job of telling the story.

Just like Lousia’s Book

The narrator did quite a splendid job of bringing out the beautiful language and daily toils of life that this precious little book presents.

Amazing

Most Amazing book ever. I love it. Best version. And the reader was great. (: love it

Warm, touching, appealing

A wonderful story of warmth, charm of families values, morality and closeness rarely seen today.

Faded in and out

The performance was fine; however, at times the volume faded a bit making for challenging listening.
