Louisa May Alcott

Little Men

Description: "Everyone who has read 'Little Women' and discovered the charm and wholesomeness of that story will want to read this later book in which the Children of Jo and Meg pursue their adventures under the hospitable roof of Mother and Father Bhaer's school.

"'Jo' March had always been a tomboy, from the days when she used to shock her sisters with her pranks as a little tot. Perhaps it was the tomboy in 'Aunt Jo,' as she was affectionately known, that endeared her to her boys at Plumfield. There are Jo's own two boys, Daisy and Demi, Meg's and John's children, Nat Blake, the new boy, and many others - sly, mischievous, naughty, whose adventures make one of the world's most amusing and delightful children's books."

Little Women

Description: "Growing up is never easy. But it helps to be one of the four sisters in the March family. They share each other's joys and pain, loves and secrets, although they couldn't be more different. Meg, the oldest, is the sensible one. Jo is funny and mischievous. Beth is the shy, dreamy one, and Amy is pretty and artistic.

"Follow Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy as they grow from girls to young women, and share the events in their lives that have delighted readers for over a century: Meg's first dance, Amy's punishment in school, the return of their father from the war, Jo's fury with her sisters when her precious diary is burned, the family wedding, Beth's tragic illness, and more. Their story has become one of the most popular books ever written about girls growing up."
