What to expect

Little Men, written by legendary author Louisa May Alcott, is widely considered to be one of the greatest books of all time. This great classic will surely attract a whole new generation of readers.

The lovable Jo March, introduced to us in Little Women, is now married, with two sons of her own and an adopted family of twelve boys. And she couldn't be happier.

Since starting an informal school at Plumfield, Jo and Professor Bhaer provide a haven for poor orphaned boys who thrive on warmth, goodness, and the affectionate interest of the March and Bhaer families. Sometimes it's difficult to tame the manners and spirits of wild boys who have had no nurturing. But the Bhaers have time for all and are rewarded with the trust of the boys, who confide all their hopes, plans, ambitions, and misfortunes.

This classic tale full of faces both familiar and new is a perfect family listen, engaging for audiences both young and old.

Critics Review

  • “As Marmee and the mother that Jo March later becomes, [Hébert] projects a maternal resonance, which resonates with subtlety and nuance. For fans of Miss Alcott, the novel makes for a rich feast.”
