Description
Little Women begins the much-loved story of the March sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The girls grow up amidst the turmoils, adventures, and hardships of the American Civil War.
There is Meg, the eldest, plump and fair; Jo, the tomboy who longs to be a writer and fights against the constraints of her sex; Beth, shy, timid, and delicate, who brings out the protective instinct in others; and Amy, the youngest and brightest and, at least in her own estimation, the most important.
The household is presided over by Mrs. March, their "Marmee," who tries to rule with kindness and to create harmony among her four little women.

"Lorelei King brings back all our childhood memories of Little Women. Her voice lends a mirthful quality to the overall reading while individual characters each have their own distinctive characterizations. Marmee, Laurie and old, kind-hearted Mr. Lawrence all return to us in this warm-hearted, evocative reading. For fans of Miss Alcott, the novel makes for a rich feast."
