Little Women, the original unabridged glory of the edition which first combined the original first edition in 1868 and the 1869 sequel. The handful of illustrations for the 1868 Edition, by May Alcott, Louisa May Alcott’s younger sister, have largely been lost to history. For the 1880 version, Illustrator Frank T Merrill worked closely with Louisa May Alcott to produce over 200 illustrations which she felt truly reflected the spirit of the March sisters, Laurie, and their adventures.

This book isn't just about reading a story; it's about stepping into another time and place. It's about understanding characters on a deeper level and seeing how their lives reflect our own. And most importantly, it's about experiencing a piece of literary history in its purest form.

This book not only allows you to enjoy Louisa May Alcott's celebrated novel but also offers a deeper understanding of its main characters. A carefully crafted foreword provides an analysis of each of the main characters that will make you feel as if Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy, and Laurie too, are more than just characters on a page - they're friends with depth and humour and drive.

Get to know the woman behind the words in the enlightening biography of Louisa May Alcott herself, and discover how her own experiences shaped the story of Little Women. You'll see her world through her eyes and gain a new appreciation for her remarkable talent.

So prepare yourself for an unforgettable journey with the March sisters, a classic tale of love, family and growing up. This isn't just another book; it's an adventure that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page.
