Excerpt from The Story of the Alcotts
At the age of fifteen Louisa entered her romantic period, when she fell to writing poetry, keeping a heart journal and wandering in the moonlight. During this time she had a mania for the stage and devoted her leisure time to writing and enacting dramas. Her older sister, Anna, assisted her in carrying out all her plans. While her mother conducted an intelligence office, Louisa sold her first story (written when she was sixteen) for five dollars.
