Tonight, we’ll read the sixth chapter of “Little Women” by American author Louisa May Alcott, published in 1868, titled “Beth Finds the Palace Beautiful”. Following the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy—the novel details their passage from childhood to womanhood and is loosely based on the author and her sisters.In the previous chapter, on a snowy day Jo finds that Laurie is shut in his mansion, lonely and with a cold, and she brings in the warmth of friendship.
