From the blurb...

Little Women is the delightful story of the four March girls and their approach towards womanhood.

Meg, the eldest and most beautiful, shrugs off her vanity and social ambition, discovering fulfilment in romantic love. Boysih Jo on the other hand, with her contempt of all 'lovering', turns imprtuously towards writing for solace. Gentle Beth rejects worldly interests, prefering to devote her life to her family, to the joy of music and to timidly aiding all who suffer in life. Amy, the yongest and most imperfect of all the March giels, continually tries to overcome her selfishness and girlish pretensions, though she has a hard task before her.

Bought to aid my challenge to read all of the BBC's top 100 books.

I thought this was enjoyable, if very twee... It's a bit preachy, but it's pleasant enough.
