Louisa May Alcott and "Little Women"

About the Book

Louisa May Alcott and “Little Women” is one-third biography, one-third history and insights into Little Women, and one-third legacy and sites. It also includes a scholarly find: little known verses, some of which are set to music.

Written in accessible style, the author lets Alcott’s own words (from diaries and letters) reveal her life and works.

Though an adult reference, it was on the shortlist of notable books of the Children’s Literature Association.
