Other than Hal Holbrook's Mark Twain, I can't think of another literary figure that's brought so realistically to life.

Rated: 8/10

One of the great classics. These girls were taught modern day values in a changing century; to care for others, to stand their own ground, to be independant, yet femine while making shaping life into what they wanted it to be.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
