I've read it many times, and reread the Christmas chapter. Believe it or not, I prefer it to Dickens's A Christmas Carol. And I did visit Orchard House in Concord some years back. I'd love to go again, but I don't go east very often.<br /><br />Am looking forward to reading Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy.Kathttps://thornfieldhall.blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910091443817192109.post-64103992752760180182019-01-12T16:56:37.848-08:002019-01-12T16:56:37.848-08:00Audrey, how wonderful to live in Concord.

Always interested in reading about her.<br /><br />Nadia, Patti Smith, really? Strange because she appeared recently on a programme about Emily Bronte on BBC. <br /><br />Alice, I think I was around 10 when I saw a BBC adaption and then read it as a teenager and I think if you read it at an impressionable age you never forget it! I've not yet read Rose in Bloom or any of the others.Vintage Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971819409379613967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910091443817192109.post-52723075280918135502019-01-01T04:14:40.883-08:002019-01-01T04:14:40.883-08:00Little Women is one of those ebooks I wish I had r...Little Women is one of those ebooks I wish I had read when I was younger rather my 20s. I saw the adaptation before I read it and feel like I missed out on falling into that world as a child. I did read Six Cousins when I was young though and loved that. LMA is one of those authors you can keep revisiting again and again. I didn't realise there were bits that were cut and that it was written so quickly!Alicehttp://www.ofbooks.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910091443817192109.post-87861330120952036622018-12-07T09:26:24.239-08:002018-12-07T09:26:24.239-08:00I love LW and enjoy rereading it now and again.

I was considering buying the new edition that has a forward by Patti Smith, but just might wait and see what Christmas brings :) This book you mention sounds interesting - I may just have to give it a read - thanks :) Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910091443817192109.post-35880243940622143152018-12-06T16:02:55.785-08:002018-12-06T16:02:55.785-08:00I've read a few of Alcott's books, includi...I've read a few of Alcott's books, including Little Women which I love, but I haven't read Good Wives. It's not as easy to find that one either. My girls enjoyed 'Invincible Louisa' a bio by Cornelia Meigs which won the Newbery Medal in 1934. I read it a long time ago & enjoyed it then but can't really remember much about it now.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910091443817192109.post-84391504617461759562018-12-06T10:24:41.565-08:002018-12-06T10:24:41.565-08:00I'm always surprised when there isn't a bi...I'm always surprised when there isn't a biography (or at least not a contemporary one) of someone like LMA, so I'm glad you found this book! (I haven't read it yet but would like to.) I'm lucky enough to live near the Alcott's house in Concord, Massachusetts so that was a lovely way to learn more about them.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912114716426828436noreply@blogger.com
