'Wouldn't it be fun if all the castles in the air which we make could come true and we could live in them?'

A heart-warming tale of love, sisterhood and hardship during the New England Civil War, Little Women tells the story of the lovable March family. Meg, Beth, Jo and Amy try to support their mother at home while their father is away at war and enter into various scrapes and adventures as they do so. Alcott beautifully interacts bad times and good as her characters struggle with the trials and tribulations of growing up and their relationships with one another.

Louisa May Alcott was a 19th-century American novelist, best known for her novel Little Women, as well as for her much-loved sequels, Little Men and Jo's Boys.

Following financial hardship, Alcott started writing at an early age to support her family, sometimes under the pen name of AM Barnard. In addition to being an author, Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist. Her work continues to be among the most popular children's fiction today.
