About this book

Louisa May Alcott's 1868–69 novel, drawn from her own family. In a Massachusetts household during and after the Civil War, the four March sisters — practical Meg, headstrong and writerly Jo, gentle Beth and artistic Amy — grow up with little money while their father is away. Episodic and warm, with an unusually independent heroine in Jo, it became one of the most enduring American novels for young readers.
