Louisa May Alcott The Women Who Wrote Little Women by Julian Hawthorne
Check out this fascinating anecdote-rich article by an Alcott contemporary, Julian Hawthorne (son of Nathanial Hawthorne) Written in the 1920s he gives a unique perspective on the popularity of Little Women during the free-spirited flapper era. He also spills some gossip about he and Abby May. 🙂 Enjoy!
Daniel Shealy has lots of these kinds of anecdotes in his book Alcott in Her Own Time. Sounds like I should focus on that book for a while and share more of these kinds of stories.
