Publisher's Summary

Most people know this book from the Academy Award-winning motion picture starring Winona Ryder. Now, introduce them to the sparkling American classic behind the movie: a charming portrait of the joys and hardships of the four sisters in Civil War New England. Separated by the war from their beloved parents, these "little women" struggle to find their place in the world.

Editorial reviews

Barbara Caruso's rendering is wonderful. She skillfully combines the voices of a fairly large cast. Just as splendidly, she presents the text in an old-fashioned style, tone and pronunciation befitting the setting of the story. The four sisters, though each unique, must be a challenge even for several voices, but Caruso's solo voice always enthralls. The performance is worthwhile no matter what previous experience with Little Women the listener has.

Critic Reviews

"Barbara Caruso gives a delightful reading of an old-fashioned, reassuring classic. For all ages." (Lawrence Eagle Tribune)

A heartwarming classic

I am thoroughly in love with this story, I've laughed and cried and even got frustrated with the characters. The language was so refreshing in comparison to how people talk these days that it truly brought the romance back for me. I'm so glad I found audible or else I'd never get to "read"

A Classic

Wonderful book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although, the chapter numbers in the app (17 chapters) didn't match up with the spoken chapters (around 40 chapters), so if you lose your place it can be hard to find where you were up to.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this great old fashioned story. I would recommend to teenage girls on wards. Living in a house full of boys & action movies etc, this was a lovely change. Not a machine gun in sight!

Truly a must read classic

I have watched the movies a few times but they are nothing in comparison to the books, truely a classic that should be read by any book worm, or classic literature lover.

THE BEST STORY

The plot in general was amazing and all of the happiness and sadness was captured through the voices of the characters.
