Begun in 2010, this blog offers analysis and reflection by Susan Bailey on the life, works and legacy of Louisa May Alcott and her family. Susan is an active member and supporter of the Louisa May Alcott Society, the Fruitlands Museum and Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House.
I received a wonderful email from the mother of Amelie Lasker, the young actress who portrayed Beth March in the Concord Players’ production of Little Women this past May (see past post for more on this play). She shared with me the sweet remembrance given to each March sister cast member, created by the costumers Pat Kane, Kathy Booth, Susie Appel and Tracy Wall. The doll is wearing the costume worn by Amelie in the first act of the play. The doll is even holding a kitten! Here’s a picture her husband Gary took – what a wonderful keepsake!
