gift for a Louisa May Alcott devotee or a treat for yourself, The
Marjolein Bastin Classics Series, as a set or individually

Discover anew the world of Little Women. The 1860s, the turbulent days
of the American Civil War, and four sisters as different as they could
be: Meg, who likes to approach everything rationally and reasonably; Jo,
a nonconformist with literary ambitions; tender Beth, who tries to keep
the peace; and Amy, the baby of the family who tends to take herself and
her position in society a little too seriously. While their father is
off fighting the war, the four girls must learn to get by with just
their mother while realizing that it isn't easy for young women to
establish their place in the world. Despite numerous obstacles, the
sisters carry on and become independent adults, each in her own way, but
without losing sight of the importance of family.
