Product Description
The beautiful Meg, artistic tomboy Jo, doomed Beth, and selfish Amy: since the publication of Little Women in 1869, these four sisters have become America’s most beloved literary siblings. Louisa May Alcott’s rich and realistic portrait has inspired three movies and stirred the emotions of countless young girls. Set in New England during the Civil War, the novel follows the adventures of the March sisters as they struggle to pursue their dreams.

 A Beautiful Gift December 2, 2008

I just recieved this book in the mail. I had purchased it to give as a gift to my daughter, who is 17, as a gift for Christmas. I was so impressed when I opened the package. It is a beautiful book! Perfect to give as a gift!

Little Women is very like The Brady Bunch. In its time, everybody knew it was sugary-sweet and unrealistic. (Including, and especially, Alcott.) It still dared to tackle subjects previously taboo. (For Little Women, it was daring to show girls with personalities, for Brady Bunch, it was new to show blended families.)
The world was never like this--even Alcott's own life was not. She idealized a miserable childhood into something that would sell: a noble, genteel poverty that conveniently appeals to today's nostalgiacs. If you enjoy that, great. Just keep some perspective.
Belongs in classes studying how literature has changed.
Not the Best Copy of a Beautiful Story August 14, 2006

"Take care my skirt don't trip you up..."
"Don't Meg pull fair?"
"Oh, yes she tries to but she don't love Bethy as I do..."
If you're looking for a copy of Little Women with lots of colorful illustrations don't buy this copy there are none.
If you're looking for a copy with extra information about the author don't buy this one there's only a very short paragraph at the end about Louisa May Alcott that comes after the 15 "book discussion" type questions that are not very useful to an independant reader.
I was not impressed with the wording of this Sterling Publishing edition of this beloved children's classic. I've read other editions of Little Women and don't remember the word don't being used so poorly throughout the novel as it was in this edition. Are these the original words of Louisa May Alcott or don't people know how to use proper English back in the 1860's?
 No a very good edition, but it's fine. July 19, 2006

A Favorite May 9, 2006

This is one of my favorite books. I am an avid reader, and there are some books which I have read more than once, but when I think about them years - or even months - later, I cannot for the life of me remember some of the main charactors' names. It is not so with this book. I could not forget it, or stop loving it, no matter what!
