Quotes

“The book I loved most, the one I must have devoured at least a dozen times, was Little Women.” Anne Tyler, Pulitzer Prize–winning American novelist

“Lorelei King brings back all our childhood memories of Little Women. Her voice lends a mirthful quality to the overall reading while individual characters each have their own distinctive characterizations. Marmee, Laurie and old, kind-hearted Mr. Lawrence all return to us in this warm-hearted, evocative reading. For fans of Miss Alcott, the novel makes for a rich feast.” AudioFile
