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 travelling through Europe with old Aunt
March and Amy. Future writers have found inspiration in Jo's devotion to
her writing. In this simple, enthralling tale, both parts of which are
included here, Louisa May Alcott has created four of American
literature's most beloved women.
