A classic classic

Synopsis

"I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning to sail my ship"

Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth - four "little women" enduring hardships and enjoying adventures in Civil War New England.

The charming story of the March sisters, Little Women has been adored by generations. Readers have rooted for Laurie in his pursuit of Jo's hand, cried over little Beth's death, and dreamed of traveling through Europe with old Aunt March and Amy and future writers have found inspiration in Jo's devotion to her writing.

In this simple, enthralling tale, Louisa May Alcott has created four of American literature's most beloved women.

Born in Philadelphia in 1832, Louisa May Alcott remains one of the world's best-loved and most enduringly popular American authors. Best-known for Little Women and its sequels, Alcott was a noted feminist, abolitionist and her novels are still celebrated for their championing of independent thought and women's liberation.

Don't judge a book by it's cover - very cheaply constructed
