Summary

Tonight, we’ll read the opening chapter to “Little Women” by American author Louisa May Alcott, published in 1868. Following the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy—the novel details their passage from childhood to womanhood and is loosely based on the author and her sisters. Alcott wrote the books over several months at the request of her publisher. She later recalled that she did not think she could write a successful book for girls and did not enjoy writing it. "I plod away," she wrote in her diary, "although I don't enjoy this sort of things.” The book's immediate success surprised both her and her publisher. — read by 'V' — pt 2 air date: December 25, 2019 — pt. 3 air date: January 1, 2020 — pt. 4 air date: February 12, 2020 — pt. 5 air date: March 4, 2020 — pt. 6 air date: April 1, 2020 — pt. 7 air date: June 3, 2020 Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/snoozecast) Listen Ad-Free on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
