Little Women is one of the best loved stories of all time. Living in New England with Marmee, the good-natured March girls, lovely Meg, talented Jo, frail Beth and spoiled Amy manage to lead interesting lives despite the family’s lack of money and their father’s absence fighting in the Civil War. Whether the sisters are making plans for putting on a play or forming a secret society, their enthusiasm is infectious. Based on Louisa May Alcott’s childhood, this lively portrait of nineteenth-century family life possesses a lasting vitality.
