You know Louisa May Alcott as the author of the beloved young adult novel, Little Women. Although she immortalized her family’s life in Massachusetts in her writing, she was born in Pennsylvania, just miles from Graeme Park. Join her in 1868 as she visits her birth state on an author’s speaking tour, on the heels of the surprise success of part one of her most successful work to date, Little Women: or Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy.
The program will include a reading of selections from Alcott’s works leading up to Little Women, discussion of her life and artistic influences, and an opportunity for audience members to provide feedback on what should happen in part two of Little Women, which she is begrudgingly writing by popular (and her editor’s) demand.
After the presentation, enjoy afternoon tea, plus an informal chat with Louisa.
