Today’s reading is from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. This book was written in the 1860s in America and this passage is one which clearly shows the characters of the March sisters. Jo is the impetuous tomboy, Beth is gentle, Amy tries to do well and occasionally succeeds while Meg is extremely practical. (We have wondered about Hannah, the maid, does she ever get another cloak?)
This story is also available in film form. One was released in 1933 and the other, more recently, in 1994.
