About this episode
In today’s episode of the Read-Aloud Revival, you’ll get to know why Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women , was such a wonder (and indeed, she was!). And who could be a better guest for this conversation than Jan Turnquist? Jan Turnquist is Executive Director of Orchard House , the home where Louisa wrote Little Women , and Co-Executive Producer, Director, and Host of the Emmy-Award Winning documentary, Orchard House . She’s a true Louisa May Alcott expert, and has wonderful insight into the Alcott family, and why Little Women has endured. In this episode, you’ll hear: my own very favorite part of visiting Orchard House (hint: it has to do with drawing on the walls!) the beauty in re-reading Little Women at different life stages little known details about Louisa May Alcott, and the very unique and rather revolutionary Alcott family I’ll also tackle a listener question about whether it’s worthwhile to have your kids watch movie versions of a book after reading it. (What I say here just might surprise you!) Find the rest of the show notes at https://readaloudrevival.com/146/ .
