    About this audiobook

    The March sisters are among the most beloved characters in children's literature, and Good Wives - the second volume of Little Women - picks up where its predecessor left off. As Meg marries John, Jo is faced with a romantic dilemma of her own, while Amy travels to Europe and Beth becomes increasingly ill. In this sensitive and lively novel, Alcott - 'the Thackeray, the Trollope, of the nursery and the schoolroom', as Henry James called her - is on sparkling form.

    Louisa May Alcott

    Louisa May Alcott was born in Pennsylvania in 1832, the second of four daughters of the philosopher Bronson Alcott. She was educated at home and went on to become a schoolteacher in Boston. Her first book Flower Fables was published when she was twenty-two, but she interrupted her career as a writer to nurse soldiers at a Washington hospital during the civil war. Her most enduring book, Little Women, was published in 1868 and was an instant success. Other books include Little Men and Jo's Boys. Louisa May Alcott died in 1888 at the age of 56.

      One of my favorites of all time! It’s such an enduring classic. I used to read it every Christmas and decided to start the tradition again.

      I really enjoyed the way the audiobook was recorded - the music, the narrator's voice. It was all very pleasant to listen to.
