A marvelous book beautifully illustrated, and annotated, about the story, it's history, and that of Louisa May Alcott and her family, the inspiration of this iconic story.

The book is wonderful but it has no illustrations
No illustrations and was not presented as such. There are many editions with pictures which are far superior, I think.

cute
This book is sweet, but perhaps a trifle unrealistic. Except for a few incidents, the sisters seem to get along perfectly with one another, and for that matter, with their mother, who they almost never argue or find fault with, elevating her to what appears to be a somewhat god-like status in the house. Coming from a house of four girls myself, I have to say that Alcott's potrayal of family life is overly simplistic and a bit annoying. It would be nice if everyone was as perfect in real life as they are in her little world, but that's just not the case. If sticky-sweet, gushy family scenes don't bug you, then you might enjoy this book.
