One was an American author born in 1832 who is most famous for Little Women, her (semi-autobiographical) book about the lives of the March sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. *
The other is an Irish author born in 1898 most famous for The Chronicles of Narnia, a series set in the fictional world of Narnia.**
Well, they actually have a few things in common. Their books are wildly popular with children and adult alike. They have been read and reread for generation and have been adapted to film and stage for years.
The other thing they have in common is that today is their birthday! And you know how I feel about birthdays!
So Happy Birthday C.S.Lewis and Louis May Alcott! May your books continue to bring joy to readers everywhere!

*Alcott was a prolific writer and a really interesting person. Her dad was a transcendentalist and Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were close family friends.
**C.S. Lewis was also pretty awesome. Besides his Narnia series he wrote a science fiction trilogy and many many non-fiction books about Christianity. He was also a good friend of J.R.R. Tolkien, writer of the Lord of the Rings.

This book is about four sisters growing up during the 1800's. They are faced with many challenges they must overcome. These things bring them closer and closer. During the war their father must leave for war as a chaplain. While he is there he gets injured and Marmee (the girls mother) has to go take care of him. The girls must help there mother out by taking care of themselves. The girls have to deal with many other things such as losing people they love, getting married,saying goodbye, and falling in love.
My favorite character was Marmee I liked her because she was so loving and hardworking. Through the many difficult trials in life she remained strong. When I grow up I hope I can be like that,
I don't want to tell you anymore i want to let you read the other things yourself. I hope you don't have anywhere to be because once you start reading this book you can't put it down. I recomend this book for girls of any age, young or old I am sure you will enjoy.
