walte's review against another edition
4.0
This was an audio book.
The story was about a young boy who had no family.
Of course, it was well written and an enjoyable tale. Through the whole book, I kept thinking about where our American society is today in its practice of our language or more so, I should say, the lack of it. This children's story had words in it that I didn't even know what the words meant. It was so beautifully written; yet, I doubt many people these days would stick with it, and I doubt many children would attempt to read it.
Nevertheless, it was a very nice story.

Dulce, ingenuo; un libro de un tiempo ya desaparecido, aunque con un retrato de la infancia reconocible. Supongo que eso hace de May Alcott una autora atemporal💜
* No sé yo cómo será el texto original y qué destrozos habrá hecho esta traducción del franquismo...ojalá una reedición fiable y fiel a la obra.

I was disappointed that I didn't love this....I was a bit bored throughout the middle....beginning and end were fun.
