Story
Immediately following the success of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott sat down to write An-Old Fashioned Girl, expanding on the subject of rich versus poor that she explored in her first novel. It’s a story of a country mouse and a city mouse: 14-year-old Polly Milton travels to Boston for a stay with her friend Fanny Shaw. The wealthy Shaws’ way of life is foreign to Polly who tries to adapt but is quickly labeled “old-fashioned”. Fanny and her friends dress and behave as their elders do, flirting with boys and gossiping.

Publisher's summary
Louise May Alcott wrote Jack and Jill: A Village Story in 1880, 12 years after the publication of Little Women. Like that most famous of her novels, Jack and Jill takes place in a small New England town, and examines the lives of its inhabitants.
The story opens on the first sledding day of the season, and all of the children in town are out in force. Our hero and heroine, 13-year-olds Jack Minot and Janey Pecq, go down a particularly treacherous run and are both seriously injured.
Over the next year, Jack and Jill (as she is called) are nurtured back to health by their widowed mothers. As the seasons pass, we become intimately acquainted with not only Jack and Jill, but their group of friends. As in Little Women, Alcott's fine character studies leave us with indelible impressions of these young people, touching upon humor, honor, patience, temperance, great sorrow and even greater delight in the world around them and the love they feel for one another.

Story
A member of the landed gentry, with a seemingly guaranteed income from his estate in the country, Oblomov lives in Petersburg, uninterested in the business that provides his living and barely aware that the revenue is diminishing. Not that he leads a dissolute life of extravagance, balls and entertainment. Instead he is a dreamer, a sybarite, content above all to spend most of the day supine, in bed. The novel opens with Oblomov thus ensconced, attended only by his dirty, grumbling, indolent servant Zahar, who has looked after him since childhood, catering to his every need.

Story
Immediately following the success of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott sat down to write An-Old Fashioned Girl, expanding on the subject of rich versus poor that she explored in her first novel. It’s a story of a country mouse and a city mouse: 14-year-old Polly Milton travels to Boston for a stay with her friend Fanny Shaw. The wealthy Shaws’ way of life is foreign to Polly who tries to adapt but is quickly labeled “old-fashioned”. Fanny and her friends dress and behave as their elders do, flirting with boys and gossiping.

Yet all who meet Polly cannot help but be enamored of her; her sweet simplicity is unlike any that they have ever seen, and soon everyone comes to realize that Polly is not someone to be laughed at and ridiculed, but someone to put upon a pedestal for failing to become willing prey to the cynicism of the times.

Michael O'Halloran is the charming Gene Stratton-Porter novel of an orphaned newspaper seller who asks nothing of the world except to "be square". The book presents a vivid description of American life in 1914 and, though the characters suffer many hardships, the overall tone is so upbeat that it's easy to see why this book outsold Pollyanna in 1916. Stratton-Porter's skills as a naturalist make the country scenes especially vibrant. Her ear for dialogue is unsurpassed, demonstrating to the listener that, if life in America wasn't like this, it should have been.

Excellent Louisa May Alcott classic!
Any additional comments?
Because Little Women is one of my favorite American-authored classics, I greatly anticipated listening to Jack and Jill: A Village Story by Louisa May Alcott. Like Little Women, Jack and Jill includes well-defined characters and tight-knit family unity. Based on her own childhood experiences, Alcott captures what it was like to grow up in an a very loving family in a small New England town in the 19th century.
The story follows the lives of two 13-year-old neighbors, Jack and Jill. Similar to the nursery rhyme where “Jack and Jill went up the hill,” the two main characters in this story are destined for a fall. They go sledding on the first day of the season whereupon their adventurous natures and competitiveness get the better of them. After sledding down a particularly treacherous slope, both are seriously injured.
The rest of the story takes place over the next year when Jack and Jill are nurtured back to health by their widowed mothers, and their family and friends try to keep them entertained, despite not having TV, the internet, or cellphones. I particularly enjoyed the tone and reality of this story, from play acting with neighborhood friends, to infatuations and jealousy between a few of the girls, and heartache after the death of a beloved friend.
I listened to the Audible version of Jack and Jill narrated by Becket Royce. Becket did an excellent job narrating this book, providing distinct and consistent voices for all characters. Her narration really contributed to my satisfaction of the story. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who enjoys the old classics.

Old Fashioned Village Fun
I read this book previously and know I like everything Alcott writes. Listening to the book was no disappointment. The story takes place in a time when children amused themselves, lived with character and integrity and looked out for each other. The stories of their adventures were entertaining and brought to life wonderfully by the narrator.

Delightful and Timeless Story
I've loved this book since I was a young girl about the age of the two protagonists of this story. I generally love all of Alcott's work. Although this book isn't one of her best known, it should not be missed. I was so excited when I found this version, performed by a talented narrator who captured the spirit of the novel with humor, gentleness, and skill, not to mention actually sang the songs! As a nearly lifelong Alcott fan, I couldn't ask for more!

A very inspiring story.
This book is very inspiring and makes one want to do better and try to follow the characters examples. I really like the story. I like most of Louisa M. Alcott’s books. The narrator was pretty good, too. I didn’t quite some of the voices she did, but it was good. I also don’t quite agree with some of the views Louisa May Alcott had, but other than that, it was really good. I would recommend this book to most Christians because it makes one try to improve themselves.

My favorite
Of all Louisa May Alcott's books, "Jack and Jill" was always my favorite. I never understood why it was never as well known as her other works. It was so unknown that when I wrote a book report on it in the 6th grade, back in the 60's, I received a great big fat red "F" because I was supposed to write a report on a "real" book. The teacher was too lazy to pick up the phone and call the library to verify and when I called him on it he said to prove it. I brought the book into school the next day and showed it to him and all he did was grunt, say something like, “Well, what do you know, it is real”. Then he grudgingly gave me a B- on my report.
Honestly, if you have a daughter who enjoys reading classics, this is the book for her!!!

Wonderful Story!!!
I had read some of Louisa May Alcott's stories when I was younger, but had forgotten just how good they are. This one is no exception. Full of little life lessons and fun adventures that are not only entertaining for young people, but witty enough to still remain interesting to adults also. This narrator does the voices so well, it truly helps in the understanding and enjoyment of the tale. I especially liked that she has a lovely singing voice and I loved listening to the old songs in the story, most of which I hadn't heard before.
