Little Women

Just finishing up Little Women. Got this at the library because I'd somehow never read it and was looking for something light and fun for the trip to the States. Must have forgotten I was travelling with a toddler and thus didn't crack the book the whole time I was away.

Cute and classic - very readable for something written in the 1860's. Quite moralistic but that's par for the course for girls' stories esp of that era. Didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Wasn't swept away by the characters and story.

For a girls' classic my money is on 'Anne of Green Gables'.
