The March sisters grow from children to young adults in genteel poverty next to their wealthy next door neighbors. The setting is Massachusetts during the Civil War. The distinctive character of the four sisters, their parents, and the domestic setting are drawn largely from the author’s own life. Little Women has been a popular and critical success since its publication in 1868-1869, and Burr’s clear and spritely narration makes this edition a pleasant one.
