This special edition invites fans inside the world of the March
sisters. It includes the full text of Little Women, plus gorgeous,
removable replicas of the characters' letters and other writings.
For anyone who loves Little Women, or still cherishes the joy of
letter writing, this book illuminates a favorite story in a whole new
way. Louisa May Alcott's classic tale follows the March sisters as they
come of age, and these unforgettable characters come alive in their
letters and other writings.
When Laurie invites Jo to join him for a picnic and "all sorts of
larks," the unbridled joy of their friendship shines through. Each of
the girls' personalities is perfectly encapsulated in the letters they
pen to Marmee. And Jo's heart-wrenching poem "My Beth" speaks to the
profound bond between two sisters.
As you read this deluxe edition of the novel, you will find pockets
throughout containing replicas of all 17 significant letters and paper
ephemera from the story, re-created with beautiful calligraphy and
painstaking attention to historical detail. Pull out each one, peruse
its contents, and allow yourself to be transported to the parlor of the
March family home.
BELOVED STORY: Little Women has been passed down from generation to
generation. Greta Gerwig's 2019 film adaption welcomed new fans to the
story. Now is the perfect time to revisit Alcott's original text and
experience it in a unique way with physical ephemera that links you
directly to the world of the March family.
UNIQUE FORMAT: From the masterful calligraphy to the painstaking
attention to historical detail, to the hand-folding of the letters, to
the quality of the materials--each book is an object made by fans for
fans. This edition offers an immersive experience of the story, stands
apart on the shelf, and makes for a truly lovely gift and keepsake.
NOSTALGIC APPEAL, TIMELESS STORY: Little Women evokes deep childhood
nostalgia--yet it's a rich and sophisticated story with feminist
overtones that engages readers of any age and any generation. This
edition allows those who read Little Women as children to experience
their beloved novel anew, while inviting first-time readers to the
party.
