Every day seems wide with possibility - as wide as the frontier. But living on the edge of civilization has its risks, too....

Little Women itself “has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth.” Little Women has been read “as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well.” Alcott “combines many conventions of the sentimental novel with crucial ingredients of Romantic children's fiction, creating a new form of which Little Women is a unique model.”

Discovered in the forests of Ashton Place, the Incorrigibles are no ordinary children: Alexander keeps his siblings in line with gentle nips; Cassiopeia has a bark that is (usually) worse than her bite; and Beowulf is alarmingly adept at chasing squirrels.

A great book for kids
This book has been on my wish list for so long I don't even remember putting it there. I wish I had read it when I was young but alack I didn't. It was rich with the history of holland, a part I enjoyed, but so much of it had really very little to do with the story. In fact, Hans Brinker was often not the most prominent figure in the story. All in all I'm glad I now know the story and can recommend it to certain youngsters. For me it came a little too late to be among my favorites.
Flo Gibson is a superb narrator. I really enjoyed listening to her read this book.
