A stunning Puffin 'cloth' Classics deluxe edition of a world-famous story.

Little Women follows the lives of the March sisters: Meg, the eldest on the brink of love; tomboy Jo, who longs to be a writer; sweet-natured Beth, who always puts others first; and Amy, the youngest and most precocious. Together, they navigate the challenges of growing up.

Even though money is short, times are tough, and their father is away at war, their infectious sense of fun sweeps everyone up in their adventures—including Laurie, the boy next door. Through sisterly squabbles and both happy and sad times, the sisters discover that growing up is sometimes very hard to do.

About the Author

Louisa May Alcott (1832-88) was brought up in Pennsylvania, USA. She turned to writing in order to supplement the family income and had many short stories published in magazines and newspapers. She was reluctant to write a children's book but then realized that in herself and her three sisters she had the perfect models. The result was Little Women (1868) which became the earliest American to become a classic.
