Audiobook Little Women, closely based on Louisa May Alcott’s own experience of family life, was first published in 1869 and follows the lives of the four March sisters and their mother, ‘Marmee’. With the heartrending story of gentle Beth, the humorous adventures of tomboyish Jo, Meg’s vain attempts to cut a fashionable figure in ‘society’, and the artistic ambitions of the youngest sister Amy, it has never lost its extraordinary power to move and delight.
