Before Little Women, Louisa and her sister Anna wrote and staged melodramas in the family garret, and these are the plays themselves. Meg’s foreword recalls the home-made armour, gondolas and towers; then come witches’ curses, captive slave girls, knights, villains and lovers, all written for the sisters to act.
A charming curiosity for Alcott readers, showing the real theatricals behind the March girls’ Christmas play. Download the free EPUB.
