About the Book

When "Little Women" was first published in 1868, it became an instant bestseller. The book's gentle lessons and charming story of four adventurous sisters coming of age in Civil War-era New England was originally written as a children's book, but quickly captured the hearts and attention of readers of all ages.

Book Synopsis

Includes character guide, which-March-girl-are-you quiz, author info, and glossary

Rich or poor, we will keep together and be happy in one another.

Christmas won't be the same this year for Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, as their father is away fighting in the Civil War and the family has fallen on hard times. But though they may be poor, life for the four March sisters is rich with color, as they play games, put on wild theatricals, make new friends, argue, grapple with their vices, learn from their mistakes, nurse each other through sickness and disappointments, and get into all sorts of trouble.
