I'm reading/listening to Louisa May Alcott's 1868 book 'Little Women' after watching the 1994 movie version of the book directed by Gillian May Armstrong and thought how ironic it was that Louisa passed away two days after her father on March the 6th, 1888 and that her famous literary family had the surname March.

'Little Women' is a book that I thought I would never be bothered reading during my lifetime, but when I saw it was one of Gillian's films and starring Winona Rider as Jo, I had to give it a go.
I wanted to learn more about Louisa May Alcott's life and searched for podcasts which focused on her life and writing, and I found this one below which mentioned Louisa being given blue pills to treat her pneumonia which contained mercury?!
Curiouser and curiouser?

I listened to this 'Let Genius Burn' podcast below about Orchard House and guess which month Orchard House had to shut down in 2020 because of the pandemic?
