Little Women

An abridged version of the novel chronicling the joys and sorrows of the four March sisters as they grow into young women in mid-nineteenth-century New England.

While their chaplain father is away in the American Civil War, mother "Marmee" watches the four March sisters grow up and strive for their dreams. Meg is the capable eldest, tomboy Jo writes (like the author), Beth longs for a piano, and Amy loves pretty things. Kindly neighbor Mr. Laurence contributes, and his grandson "Teddy" becomes part of the family too.
