Faithr Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I'm reading Little Women aloud to my 9 yo. She loves it! I am loving it too. The first time I read it, when I was young, I didn't care for it and stopped at the girls' newspaper. I think I just didn't get all the references to Pilgrim's Progress and Pickwick Papers. Then later I read it again, but I developed an irrational anger over the fact that Jo didn't wind up with Laurie! I found it hard to forgive the author! LOL! This time though it is finally clicking and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Anyway, aren't there other books by Alcott that also deal with these characters? I remember seeing a book entitled Jo's Boys many years ago? We are almost done with LW and I need to line up our next read aloud. So what book do we read next? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! :001_smile: Melissa Check your version of Little Women. Some versions combine Little Women and Good Wives and just call it Little Women. In reality Little Women is a pretty short book. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 Yes, I read the blurb on Good Wives at Amazon and it seems to just be the second book of Little Women (that's what my edition (1947) calls it. Thanks all for your input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
