About this Event
In this classic children’s novel, dearly loved by grown-ups too, we follow the lives of the March sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, as they grow up in Massachusetts against the backdrop of the American Civil War. Beginning with an unforgettable Christmas, we join them for ice skating, piano-playing, writing, hair-cutting (!), love affairs and devastating illness. It is a delight to revisit this beloved children’s story as an adult, while also taking note of the religiosity and gender politics at play.
As Jo says, in the novel’s opening line: “Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents.” So for our Christmas events, we invite you to pick a book from your own shelves, wrap it up and swap it with another member in our Emily’s Walking Book Club literary Secret Santa.
Children who have read the book are very welcome to attend this one!

N.B. Please ensure that you have read the book BEFORE coming on the walk - or it risks spoiling the event for other walkers. If you've don't quite have time to read the book, please consider instead joining the Monday evening Zoom, for which reading the book isn't a prerequisite.
