"Little Women" is a classic novel written by Louisa May Alcott and published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. The book follows the lives of four sisters, Meg, Jo, and Beth as they grow up and navigate the challenges of life during the Civil War era in the United States. The novel is set in Concord, Massachusetts, and opens with the March family preparing for Christmas. The sisters are close and supportive of each other, but they all have very different personalities and interests. Meg is the eldest and the most conventional, Jo is tomboyish and dreams of being a writer, Beth is quiet and kind-hearted, and Amy is artistic and a bit spoiled. As the book progresses, the sisters face various trials and tribulations. How will they spend their life? What will they do in their lives? Throughout the novel, the sisters support each other and rely on their family bonds to overcome the challenges they face.

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.
