Summary

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the evergreen classic novel by Louisa May AlcottWith their father away fighting in the American Civil War, the four March girls are facing a lean Christmas with their mother.

Meg the beauty, Jo the tomboy, shy Beth and precocious Amy will encounter adventure, hardship, joys and disappointments, and learn to meet the challenges of life as they become independent and make their way in the world. While marriage and motherhood may beckon for the sisters, their most enduring love is always for each other.First published in 1868 and never out of print since, this iconic coming-of-age tale is a perennial favourite that has touched the hearts of generations of readers.
