Description:

Little Women

...for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.' The cult classic tale of four sisters, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott has remained both beloved and relevant through the ages. Set in New England, in the backdrop of the Civil War, it chronicles the lives of Jo, Beth, Meg and Amy-wildly different in temperament and interests, yet united by their love for each other and for their family and their struggles to survive and make their way in an ever-changing world. Exploring themes of love, friendship, class and gender struggles - the book goes from light-hearted to serious, and back, but always with warmth at the heart of it all.

Little Men

Close on the heels of Little Women came American author Louisa May Alcott's Little Men, published in 1871. Two homeless boys from Boston find themselves at Plumfield, a rural boarding school run by Jo and her husband, Mr Bhaer. From boisterous pillow fights on designated Saturdays to learning how to run a business, life at Plumfield is an unconventional but effective education at all times.

Jo's Boys

With Little Women, Louisa May Alcott introduced the fabulous March sisters. Their growing up years are captured beautifully in Good Wives and later in Little Men, where Jo marries Mr Bhaer and finds herself the caretaker of a houseful of lively children at Plumfield School.

Good Wives

Good Wives, part two of the hugely popular Little Women by American novelist Louisa May Alcott, is a coming-of-age novel. For Meg. Jo, Amy and Beth, life unfolds in unique ways. There are gentle, low-key love stories, some humour, and a very sad, passing way of one of the sisters.
