~ Mass Market Paperback, Movie Tie-In Cover
Generations of readers, of all ages and genders, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott’s most popular and enduring novel, Little Women.
In Little Women we meet hot-headed tomboy and talented author-to-be Jo, quiet and tragically frail Beth, beautiful and sensible Meg, and the romantic and spoiled Amy. The four March sisters may not be much alike, or always get along, but they remain united in their devotion to each other when the going gets tough. As they struggle to survive in New England during the Civil War they know that they always have each other.
It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life, but far from being the "girl’s book” her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love, death, war, peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America.
