Little Women

Louisa May Alcott · 1868 · Romance, Drama & Literary

In a modest New England home during the Civil War, the four March sisters — motherly Meg, fierce and scribbling Jo, gentle Beth, and artistic little Amy — grow up together in genteel poverty while their father is away at the war. Guided by their beloved Marmee and befriended by the boy next door, Laurie, they meet the small trials and great joys of becoming women: first loves and first losses, ambition and sacrifice, one wrenching sorrow and many hard-won triumphs. Louisa May Alcott's 1868 classic has never gone out of print, beloved by generations for telling the truth about growing up. Complete and richly illustrated.
