Description
The classic coming of age story of four sisters, brought to life in a new book-plus-audio edition.
Little Women, based loosely on the experiences of author Louisa May Alcott, tells the story of four sisters growing up in America during the Civil War. Like all children, these girls are not perfect. They each struggle with parts of themselves: Meg is vain; Jo, short-tempered; Beth, shy; and Amy, self-centered. How they overcome these struggles and the adventures they have on the way is what makes Little Women one of the greatest books for children ever written.
Join the girls on their heartfelt journey to becoming better sisters and better friends. Little Women is read by BBC voice actor Liza Ross, with music and effects to set the mood.
