About This Item
New York: Grosset & Dunlap Publishers, 1925. Complete Authorized Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. Small 8vo, light blue cloth with silver lettering on spine and front cover, illustrated with a full-color frontispiece of Ted and 'a horse worth having," peach-and-pink colored pictorial endpapers of the family outside church [xii] + 358 pages. Exceptional Condition! The sequel to Louisa May Alcott's Little Men. Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888) was an American novelist and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she also grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. She worked to help support the family from an early age and began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used the pen name "A. M. Barnard," under which she wrote novels for young adults. Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Hillside, later called the Wayside, in Concord, Massachusetts and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters. The novel was very well received and is still a popular children's novel today, filmed several times. Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist and remained unmarried throughout her life. She died in Boston on March 6, 1888.
