Publisher Description

Little Women begins the much-loved story of the March sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The girls grow up amidst the turmoils, adventures, and hardships of the American Civil War.

There is Meg, the eldest, plump and fair; Jo, the tomboy who longs to be a writer and fights against the constraints of her sex; Beth, shy, timid, and delicate, who brings out the protective instinct in others; and Amy, the youngest and brightest and, at least in her own estimation, the most important.

The household is presided over by Mrs. March, their “Marmee,” who tries to rule with kindness and to create harmony among her four little women.

"Little Women is beautifully written, capturing an endearing story of the purest love amongst sisters - that is a range of heart break, rage, growth, compassion, disappointment, and laughs all resulting in a heart felt classic that will live on forever! It is a must-have for anyone with sisters or girlfriends. Or a simple desire to journey into the lives of four sisters and experience the full range of emotions as only sisters could overcome, endure and delight. It. is a lovely read!"

Quotes

  • “The book I loved most, the one I must have devoured at least a dozen times, was Little Women.”

    — Anne Tyler, Pulitzer Prize–winning American novelist
  • “Lorelei King brings back all our childhood memories of Little Women. Her voice lends a mirthful quality to the overall reading while individual characters each have their own distinctive characterizations. Marmee, Laurie and old, kind-hearted Mr. Lawrence all return to us in this warm-hearted, evocative reading. For fans of Miss Alcott, the novel makes for a rich feast.”

    " i like the book but i really wanted Jo with Laurie and in all truth Jo only got a husband as to her author's critics and employeer. that is why i love anne of green gables more becuase anne changed her mind and saw that gilbert was all that she wanted and her silly romance ideas were simply hogwash. mr.bhaer is not a BAD man but he is just a man and she saw something in him that we do not see. He is older man and mind you older men was what she wanted. i mean copare laurie to bhaer. laurie is young,idealistic and hot-tempered and so is Jo but I think she was wrong for her choice but she seemed happy in her life with him but I think Laurie and Jo would be best together. But Bhaer is older,wiser-almost sage-wise and emotional. She likes him for who knows why and we can't change the book though you may right a billion lame fanfictions he still married young Jo and Amy who is still silly and stupid in my eyes as i have a youner sister who is exactly like her and anyway Amy is still the beloved wife of Laurie. They were eachother's first love nad first love sometimes cannot last unless the two people make it work through maturity and time. I think that if Laurie proposed later when they both had found themselves they would have been beautifully full of vigor and love and life. Besides he never supported her many passions and rituals and she was spunky and wild and he loved the chase. But she married a man we dislike but we cannot choose who loves who... I wish,we all wish that but we cannot it just happens like the stars shining it happens... "

    " This book seemed boring to me at the begining. But when I really got into it, I couldn't stop reading. I loved how all the sisters were so differente, yet wanted the hapiness for each other and loved her mother and father the most. "

    " A staple of my childhood. I loved Jo, and whenever I wanted to immerse myself in reading or writing, I couldn't do it without thinking of Jo eating apples and writing or scribbling. For a long time, I thought that was how it HAD to be done. "

    " Little Women is a great book which is based in the nineteenth century, and is about four girls who grow up and become women, all while their father is at war. I think older students would enjoy this, and the stories and struggles about growing older,and having to mature. "
