About this book

With their father away as a chaplain in the American Civil War, the four March sisters grow up in genteel poverty with their wise mother, Marmee: pretty Meg, who longs for nice things; tomboyish Jo, who wants to be a writer; shy, gentle Beth; and vain little Amy. The first part follows a year of home-made plays, quarrels and friendship with Laurie, the rich boy next door; the second follows the sisters into marriage, work, travel and loss, as Jo finds her way as a writer.

Context and significance

Louisa May Alcott modelled the sisters on her own family and published the book in two parts in 1868 and 1869; this recording includes both. Sixteen LibriVox volunteers read it in about nineteen hours.
