As the family prepares for Christmas, Beth befriends a beautiful but sickly pony that strays into the March's yard and tries to keep it from being taken to Boston to be sold as a useless beast.
It was beautiful. The words have the vividness, feeling, emotion, meaning, and styl just as if they were coming from Louisa May Alcott herself. All your favorite characters: Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, Marmee, Laurie, and Aunt March are here as well as some new ones. My favorite reference to Little Women is when Beth is contemplating over how shy she is and how her sisters have wild castles in the air for when they leave home, and she wonders why she has no wish to leave home or any dreams away from being with her family.
Good book
