Despite the fact that I am in the middle of a 30 day 50 thousand word writing challenge; I am still listening to MISSIONARY HUDSON TAYLOR, I am almost finished Volume 1; I am also reading, still, Tailor Made Terror by Sheri Richey, book review coming soon; while Scripture writing, hand embroidering and finishing up a quilt. Which is why listening to the classic novel: LITTLE WOMEN by Louisa May Alcott would not make sense to anyone but an avid reader. This rendition of LITTLE WOMEN is narrated by: Emily Bauer, Laura Dern, Lauren Fortang, Allison Hiroto, which makes it an excellent listen. This rendition, there are quite a few versions 12 hours and 15 minutes, a good deal even if you have to pay for it, I didn’t.
This historical fiction tell the story of 4 young ladies who transition into adulthood. Their father is off to war and their mother helps care for those “less fortunate’ while dealing with these very individual young ladies. It is their individual personalities that make this story interesting, I suspect the listener or reader will identify with one of them. I love the purity of the story, the realness of the story line and the joys and sorrows that are woven, believably, in the plot. There is no sex, violence or profanity within these pages which is why I still love the book.
As a teenager I remember watching the 1949 version of the movie and I loved it,as an adult I still appreciate watching the original version which included: June Allyson,Margaret O'Brien, Elizabeth Taylor, Janet Leigh, Mary Astor, Peter Lawford and, Rossano Brazzi. I am a fan of June Allyson and Margaret O’Brien. I have never read the book. I think I am going to find a print copy, just because.
This is a link to one of the versions I found on YouTube, of course it is FREE: LITTLE WOMEN
