Little Men
A new, beautifully laid-out edition of the 1871 follow-up to Louisa May Alcott's timeless classic, Little Women.
Little Men continues the story of Jo March and other beloved characters from Little Women, and also tells new stories about the children of the Plumfield Estate School, run by Jo and her husband.
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American novelist, short story writer and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Born into a family that was active in the Transcendentalist movement, Alcott grew up surrounded by writers and philosophers and as an adult became an active abolitionist and feminist. She was one of the most popular authors of her own day, and she continues to be ranked among the most important and popular figures in American literature. Her novels and stories are among the most beloved and widely-read works of 19th century American literature and have been the subject to repeated film and television adaptations.

Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on November 29, 1832. She and her three sisters, Anna, Elizabeth, and May, were educated by their father, philosopher and teacher Bronson Alcott, and raised on the practical Christianity of their mother, Abigail May. Louisa spent her childhood in Boston and in Concord, Massachusetts, where her days were enlightened by visits to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s library, excursions into nature with Henry David Thoreau, and theatricals in the barn at "Hillside". Like her character, "Jo March" in Little Women, young Louisa was a tomboy. "No boy could be my friend till I had beaten him in a race," she claimed, "and no girl if she refused to climb trees, leap fences ..." For Louisa, writing was an early passion. She had a rich imagination and often her stories became melodramas that she and her sisters would act out for friends. Louisa preferred to play the "lurid" parts in these plays --"the villains, ghosts, bandits, and disdainful queens." At age 15, troubled by the poverty that plagued her family, she vowed: "I will do something by and by. Don’t care what, teach, sew, act, write -- anything to help the family; and I’ll be rich and famous and happy before I die, see if I won’t!"
