About this audiobook
In this gem of a story, The Candy Country, little Lily discovers that arriving in a magical country where everything is made of sweets is not the wonderland she had first thought.
The story is a poignant example of the strong educational and moral influence that Louisa May Alcott's father had on her life and her writing.
American novelist Alcott (1832 - 1888) is best known for the novels Little Women, published in 1868, and Little Men.
