LITTLE WOMEN: - is an autobiographical or semi-autobiographical novel written by American novelist Louisa May Alcott. It has been translated into numerous languages, and frequently adapted for stage and screen. The fictionalized account is said to be loosely based on the lives of Alcott and her three sisters Originally published in two volumes, this is a story that follows the lives of the four March sisters -- Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy -- and presents in detail their passage from childhood to womanhood. The plot of the novel revolves around four sisters and their mother, Marmee who live in a new neighborhood. Meg and Jo must work to support the family. Beth is content to stay at home and help with housework; and Amy is still at school. Laurie, the neighbor boy, becomes close friends with the sisters, particularly Jo. Little Women addresses three major themes -- domesticity, work, and true love, all of them interdependent and necessary to the success of main protagonist's individual identity.

A marvelous book beautifully illustrated, and annotated, about the story, it's history, and that of Louisa May Alcott and her family, the inspiration of this iconic story.

The book is wonderful but it has no illustrations
No illustrations and was not presented as such. There are many editions with pictures which are far superior, I think.

cute
This book is sweet, but perhaps a trifle unrealistic. Except for a few incidents, the sisters seem to get along perfectly with one another, and for that matter, with their mother, who they almost never argue or find fault with, elevating her to what appears to be a somewhat god-like status in the house. Coming from a house of four girls myself, I have to say that Alcott's potrayal of family life is overly simplistic and a bit annoying. It would be nice if everyone was as perfect in real life as they are in her little world, but that's just not the case. If sticky-sweet, gushy family scenes don't bug you, then you might enjoy this book.
