Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

A country girl named Polly is visiting city friends and comes to realize that this world is quite different than which she has left. Here people are judged according to their dress and manner of speech rather than for their honesty and hard work. Yet all who meet Polly cannot help but be enamored of her; her sweet simplicity is unlike any that they have ever seen, and soon everyone comes to realize that Polly is not someone to be laughed at and ridiculed, but someone to put upon a pedestal for failing to become willing prey to the cynicism of the times.

Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel Little Women; Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy (the first of four books) gives us the March sisters in one evanescent year, from Christmas to Christmas, as they dance back and forth on the delicate, tender line between childhood and adulthood. This delightful recording is followed by a fascinating conversation between Anne Undeland and Alison Larkin about Louisa May Alcott’s feminist beginnings and why the famous story is still beloved today. And "Happy Women", an essay Louisa May Alcott wrote for Valentine’s Day 1868.

Interesting story line kept me listening
The story line is great, but the overall tone is a bit simpering. Made sense when I learned that it was written in the 1800s

A Continuing Great Story
The Story of Elsie continues in it suspense and trials... Elsie's continued love and obedience to her father make these books great for character development in younger readers. I thoroughly enjoyed the references to God and the acting out of their faith.
I wish Audible had the other stories of Elsie on audio...

Great Story
I do so love listening to these such stories. Although I do not see it as practical. The live between father and daughter I do not see as realistic but would love to see it in the world today. The love of God is very real and stories like these lift the heart. It is a great series for all ages
