The spirit of the March sisters in Little Woman embodies the real American experience. For the first time, in a book written primarily for young people, children could recognize themselves in the characters of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy who spend the Civil War dealing with poverty and the pangs of growing up while waiting for their father to return from war. People from around the country could identify with the hopes, sorrows, laughter and trials of protagonists who talked and behaved much as they did because they were reading about lives already familiar to them in the fabric of their own world.

Work Description
Louisa May Alcotts classic novel, set during the Civil War, has always captivated even the most reluctant readers. Little girls, especially, love following the adventures of the four March sisters--Meg, Beth, Amy, and most of all, the tomboy Jo--as they experience the joys and disappointments, tragedies and triumphs, of growing up. This simpler version captures all the charm and warmth of the original.
