Little Women is the classic
story of the March family, which consists of Mr. and Mrs. March and
their four girls–Practical, yet fashion conscious, Meg, who longs for
the nice things they used to have. Rambunctious, book worm, Jo, who
wants to become a writer and wishes she were born a boy. Shy and quiet,
homeloving, Beth, who loves to play the piano and play with her kitties.
Finally, the youngest, artistic, Amy, who longs for an aristocratic
nose!
The story takes
place during the American Civil War, and begins with Mr. March away
from home as a chaplain to the Union army, while his wife and daughters
remain at home to work and wait for his safe return. This book follows
their joys and sorrows and scrapes along the path to the girl’s becoming
grown up “little women”.
Many
of the scrapes they get into include Laurie–their harum scarum next
door neighbor, who becomes their adopted brother. The two families, the
March’s and the Laurence’s strike up a lasting friendship, despite their
differences in material possessions.
