Classic Monday: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

1867
449 pages
I've decided to start a new section on my blog called Classic Monday. I think it is very important to read the classics and not to forget or discount them.

Today's classic novel is one of my personal favorites Little Women. It focuses on four young ladies, Meg, Jo, Amy, and Beth; growing up in the 19th century. Its a beautiful and warm story full of love and hardships and a family who sticks together throughout it all. This is definitely a must read classic.
