Some people journey far from home to seek adventure, while others wait for adventures to come softly upon them.
In her short story “Louisa May Alcott: A Child’s Biography,” Louisa May Alcott tells of a 6-year-old Louisa who actively seeks out adventures. At this young age, she has the terrible habit of running away.
Looking for Adventure
On a beautiful morning, after her mother helps her dress, the little Louisa sneaks out and runs away as fast as she can. She has no plan: “She does not care so very much just where she goes so long as she is having an adventure, all by herself.”
Kate Vidimos holds a bachelor's in English from the liberal arts college at the University of Dallas and is currently working on finishing and illustrating a children’s book.
