An outstanding achievement of nineteenth-century American literature, Little Women is the first children's novel published in the United States that would become an enduring classic. The book recounts the adventures of the four March sisters--Meg, Beth, Amy, and tomboy Jo--as they experience the joys and disappointments, tragedies and triumphs, of growing up. This very human portrait of the struggles and delights of family life is unsurpassed in literature, with a message that still resonates today. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.
