Product details
Prior to the publication of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott earned her living writing Gothic pulp fiction. So when her publisher Thomas Niles asked her to write a novel for girls, she did so reluctantly, and yet, in just ten weeks, Alcott wrote what was to become one of the best-known novels of all time. This semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story follows four sisters growing up in rural 19th-century New England, and the independent and outspoken main character is based on the author herself. An instant bestseller on publication in 1868, Alcott went on to write a sequel the following year, published under the title Good Wives, which is also included in our edition. The two parts were published as a single novel in 1880; the story has never lost its appeal, and, 150 years later, the feminist leanings of the female-led narrative still resonate. This hugely popular Folio edition celebrates the novel’s classic status with a stunning gold-blocked binding and exquisite printed endpapers. Nine captivating illustrations by American artist Rebecca Green, and a specially commissioned introduction by celebrated author Jane Gardam, acknowledge the novel’s enduring themes of human relationships and female empowerment.

It was the favorite book of my mother. We are very different persons. She was born in Worldwar II. The book was one of her treasures after the war, but it got lost, so I was pleased to see it at Folio 's. I 've got the feeling, I finally get to know her by reading it.
