Laura Dern is playing the role of narrator in a new audiobook version of Louisa May Alcott’s classic story Little Women.

Dern is voicing author Louisa May Alcott for the new audio version of the story which is being released by Audible.

She’s also playing Marmee in Greta Gerwig’s much anticipated film version of the beloved novel.

“Being part of Little Women has completely converted me into an Audible addict!” Laura Dern said in a statement. “I’ve fallen in love with audio — it’s a completely different acting experience. Audio is fantastic in its ability to let stories resonate through the voice alone. It’s so private and intimate, you share the humour, irreverence and bravery of the writing with the listener in such a personal way.”
