Louisa May Alcott's beloved 1868 novel is about the four March girls - Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy - who are growing up in Massachusetts during the Civil War. As the novel opens, their father is away at war, and the girls are struggling to be good and to reconcile themselves to their relative poverty. Each has her trials to deal with, and they are encouraged by their loving mother, and by their friendship with their neighbor, Theodore "Laurie" Laurence. This dramatic reading was done by a cast of expert actors who bring their nuianced interpretations to the voice of each character resulting in a beautifully flowing narrative full of the love and life that this novel is imbuewed with.
