While most famous for Little Women, Louisa May Alcott penned many other just as enthralling but lesser-known novels. Discover five of her hidden gems featuring Alcott’s signature coming-of-age stories in this collectible paperback boxed set!
In An Old-Fashioned Girl, sweet and sensible Polly has to learn to stay true to herself through the pressures of status and reputation, all while navigating love and friendship. In Eight Cousins and its sequel Rose in Bloom, orphaned Rose moves to live with her uncle and faces finding purpose and love as a young heiress encountering an array of suitors. In Under the Lilacs, 12-year-old Ben runs away from the circus with his dog Sancho to seek out his missing father. And in Jack and Jill, best friends Jack and Janey — nicknamed Jill — are injured in a sledding accident, requiring them to combat boredom during their recovery through creativity and their growing friendship.
This classic and charming paperback box set is a beautiful introduction to these lesser-known stories from one of America's most beloved authors.
