As the Civil War rages, the four March sisters and their mother face the challenges and difficulties of life during the 1860s... and growing up at any time. Little Women has been a beloved classic since it was first written in 1868, and now this timeless novel comes alive with Francesca Rossi's gorgeous illustrations.
Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy, each very different from the other but bound together by a ferocious love for their family, have dreams for their futures, including some — like a life as a writer, with income that allows them to be independent — that are daring for their day. But together, they know that they can weather just about any storm. With a modern and original presentation and text that's accessible to younger readers, this is a beautiful introduction to Alcott's treasured story.
