Little Women (Union Square Kids Unabridged Classics)

by Louisa May Alcott

The illustrations for this series were created by Scott McKowen, who, with his wife Christina Poddubiuk, operates Punch & Judy Inc., a company specializing in design and illustration for theater and performing arts. Their projects often involve research into the visual aspects of historical settings and characters. Christina is a theater set and costume designer and contributed advice on the period clothing for the illustrations.

Scott created these drawings in scratchboard an engraving medium which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these stories. Scratchboard is an illustration board with a specifically prepared surface of hard white chalk. A thin layer of black ink is rolled over the surface, and lines are drawn by hand with a sharp knife by scraping through the ink layer to expose the white surface underneath. The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is added digitally.

The beautiful Meg, artistic tomboy Jo, doomed Beth, and selfish Amy: since the publication of Little Women in 1869, these four sisters have become America’s most beloved literary siblings. Louisa May Alcott’s rich and realistic portrait has inspired three movies and stirred the emotions of countless young girls. Set in New England during the Civil War, the novel follows the adventures of the March sisters as they struggle to pursue their dreams.

Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages. The six volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself. A Christmas Carol revived in Victorian England such Christmas hallmarks as the Christmas tree, holiday cards, and caroling. The Yuletide yarns of Anthony Trollope popularized throughout the British Empire and around the world the trappings of Christmas in London. The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus created the origin story for the presiding spirit of Christmas as we know it. The holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott shaped the ideal of an American Christmas. The Night Before Christmas brought forth some of our earliest Christmas traditions as passed down through folk tales. And The Nutcracker inspired the most famous ballet in history, one seen by millions in the twilight of every year.

Beautifully designed hardcovers—with foil-stamped jackets, decorative endpapers, and nameplates for personalization—in a small trim size that makes them perfect stocking stuffers, Penguin Christmas Classics embody the spirit of giving that is at the heart of our most time-honored stories about the holiday.

The Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer of Louisa May Alcott illuminates the world of Little Women and its author.
Since its publication in 1868–69, Little Women, perhaps America’s most beloved children’s classic, has been handed down from mother to daughter for generations. It has been translated into more than fifty languages and inspired six films, four television shows, a Broadway musical, an opera, and a web series.

Matteson’s annotations evoke the once-used objects and culture of a distant but still-relevant time, from the horse-drawn carriages to the art Alcott carefully placed in her story to references to persons little known today.

Short Stories (Dover Thrift Editions)

by Louisa May Alcott

Before she wrote Little Women — one of the most popular books for children ever written — Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) served during the Civil War as a volunteer nurse in Washington, D.C. Drawing on that episode in her life, she produced Hospital Sketches, a fictionalized account of her experiences at the military hospital in Georgetown.
This collection of five poignant short stories contains two pieces from Hospital Sketches, published in 1863: "Obtaining Supplies," recounting the obstacles Alcott's fictionalized persona, Tribulation Periwinkle, faced in gaining her independence and getting to Washington; and "A Night," a moving account of her encounter with a dying soldier. Also included are "My Contraband," a gripping tale of vengeance involving a Civil War nurse, her Confederate patient and his former slave; "Happy Women," a fictionalized essay about four "spinsters" with a positive attitude toward their marital status; and "How I Went Out to Service," an autobiographical sketch of a young woman's undaunted pursuit of financial independence.
Rich in their simple eloquence, these stories provide revealing glimpses of the concerns and literary techniques of one of America's most admired authors.

Little Women, Little Men, Jo's Boys

by Louisa May Alcott

The beloved March family trilogy—presented in one “single, beautifully crafted volume” featuring original illustrations (John Matteson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author)

From the incidents of her own remarkable childhood, Louisa May Alcott fashioned a trilogy of novels that catapulted her to fame and fortune and that remain among the most beloved works in all of American literature. Here, in an authoritative single-volume edition restoring Alcott’s original text as well as her sister May (the original of Amy)’s illustrations, is the complete series.

Set in a small New England town during the Civil War and Reconstruction, Little Women introduces Alcott’s remarkable heroines, the March sisters—above all, her alter ego Jo March, with her literary ambition and independent spirit. The follow-up, Little Men, follows Jo into adulthood and marriage as she finds herself the caretaker of a houseful of rambunctious children at Plumfield School. Jo’s Boys returns to Plumfield a decade later; now grown, Jo’s children recount adventures of their own.

At once heartwarming and true to life, Alcott’s novels will continue to win over readers both young and old, as they have for generations.

Louisa May Alcott: Work, Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom, Stories & Other Writings (LOA #256) (Library of America Louisa May Alcott Edition)

by Louisa May Alcott

This unique collection includes pioneering feminist novels, rare stories, restored drawings, and hard-to-find writings from the author of Little Women

After the success of her beloved masterpiece Little Women, Louisa May Alcott brought her genius for characterization and eye for detail to a series of revolutionary novels and stories that are remarkable in their forthright assertion of women’s rights. This second volume of The Library of America’s Alcott edition gathers these works for the first time, revealing a fascinating and inspiring dimension of a classic American writer.

The first of a trio of novels written over a fruitful three-year period, Work: A Story of Experience has been called the adult Little Women. It follows the semi-autobiographical story of an orphan named Christie Devon, who, having turned twenty-one, announces “a new Declaration of Independence” and leaves her uncle’s house in order to pursue economic self-sufficiency and to find fulfillment in her profession. Against the backdrop of the Civil War years, Christie works as a servant, actress, governess, companion, seamstress, and army nurse—all jobs that Alcott knew from personal experience—exposing the often insidious ways in which the employments conventionally available to women constrain their self-determination. Alcott’s most overtly feminist novel, Work breaks new ground in the literary representation of women, as its heroine pushes at the boundaries of nineteenth-century expectations and assumptions.

Eight Cousins concerns the education of Rose Campbell, another orphan who, in her delicate nature and frail health, seems to embody many of the stereotypes of girlhood that shaped Alcott’s world. But with the benefit of an unorthodox, progressive education and the good and bad examples of her many crisply drawn relations— especially her seven boy cousins—Rose regains her health and envisions a career both as a wife and mother and as a philanthropist. She insists that she will manage her own fortune rather than find a husband to do it for her in the sequel, Rose in Bloom.

This Library of America edition includes several noteworthy features. All three novels are presented with beautifully restored line art from the original editions and are supplemented by seven hard-to-find stories and public letters (two restored to print for the first time in more than a century), an authoritative chronology of Alcott’s life, and notes identifying her allusions, quotations, and the autobiographical episodes in her fiction.

Little Women: An Annotated Edition

by Louisa May Alcott

Little Women has delighted and instructed readers for generations. For many, it is a favorite book first encountered in childhood or adolescence. Championed by Gertrude Stein, Simone de Beauvoir, Theodore Roosevelt, and J. K. Rowling, it is however much more than the “girls’ book” intended by Louisa May Alcott’s first publisher. In this richly annotated, illustrated edition, Daniel Shealy illuminates the novel’s deep engagement with issues such as social equality, reform movements, the Civil War, friendship, love, loss, and of course the passage into adulthood.

The editor provides running commentary on biographical contexts (Did Alcott, like Jo, have a “mood pillow”?), social and historical contexts (When may a lady properly decline a gentleman’s invitation to dance?), literary allusions (Who is Mrs. Malaprop?), and words likely to cause difficulty to modern readers (What is a velvet snood? A pickled lime?). With Shealy as a guide, we appreciate anew the confusions and difficulties that beset the March sisters as they overcome their burdens and journey toward maturity and adulthood: beautiful, domestic-minded Meg, doomed and forever childlike Beth, selfish Amy, and irrepressible Jo. This edition examines the novel’s central question: How does one grow up well?

Little Women: An Annotated Edition offers something for everyone. It will delight both new and returning readers, young and old, male and female alike, who will want to own and treasure this beautiful edition full of color illustrations and photographs.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

TIMES 2020 100 Best YA of All Times

Little Women is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888), which was originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. Alcott wrote the books rapidly over several months at the request of her publisher. The novel follows the lives of four sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March—detailing their passage from childhood to womanhood, and is loosely based on the author and her three sisters. Little Women was an immediate commercial and critical success, and readers demanded to know more about the characters. Alcott quickly completed a second volume, entitled Good Wives. It was also successful. The two volumes were issued in 1880 in a single work entitled Little Women. Alcott also wrote two sequels to her popular work, both of which also featured the March sisters: Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Although Little Women was a novel for girls, it differed notably from the current writings for children, especially girls. The novel addressed three major themes: "domesticity, work, and true love, all of them interdependent and each necessary to the achievement of its heroine's individual identity." Little Women "has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth", but also "as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well". According to Sarah Elbert, Alcott created a new form of literature, one that took elements from Romantic children's fiction and combined it with others from sentimental novels, resulting in a totally new format. Elbert argued that within Little Women can be found the first vision of the "All-American girl" and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters.

Women Who Wrote Stories and Poems from Audacious Literary Mavens

by Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte, Louisa May Alcott, Gertrude Stein, Phillis Wheatley

This beautiful, giftable collection celebrates both the wisdom and tenacity of courageous women who defied society's expectations and gifted the world with literary treasures through unparalleled fiction and poetry.

We know many of their names--Austen and Alcott, Brontë and Browning, Wheatley, and Woolf--though some may be less familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves.

They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father's house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent.

The Women Who Wrote softcover edition offers:

• Stories from Jane Austen, Katherine Mansfield, Willa Cather, Louisa May Alcott, Edith Wharton, Zora Neale Hurston, and Virginia Woolf.
• Poems from Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Dorothy Parker, and Phillis Wheatley.

These women wrote to change the world. They marched through the world one by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to one another and to us over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote an arsenal of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths forward.

Eight Cousins

by Louisa May Alcott

A recently orphaned girl meets her extended family—including seven rambunctious cousins—for the first time in this charming novel from Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women!

Thirteen-year-old Rose Campbell never knew her mother, and the death of her father leaves her reeling and hopelessly lonely. She’s sent to live with her maiden great aunts, the matriarchs of her father’s wealthy Boston family who she’s never met. The elderly women’s quiet household suits Rose’s mourning, but the arrival of her appointed guardian, Uncle Alec, challenges the status quo.

With Alec as her guide, Rose is properly introduced to the other residents of “Aunt-Hill,” including Alec’s four sisters and their sons. Having so many relations overwhelms Rose at first. Her dour Aunt Myra convinces her she has a fragile constitution while fashionable Aunt Clara turns Rose’s head with stylish clothes. And the collective energy of male cousins ranging from age six to sixteen is more than she knows how to handle. But Uncle Alec’s steady commitment to seeing Rose flourish helps her find her footing and grow to love her eccentric family. She even “adopts” Great Aunt Plenty and Peace’s housemaid, Phebe, as her sister.

Surrounded by people who love her, Rose slowly but surely goes from sickly and timid to healthy, active, and bold as she learns to keep her father’s memory close while setting a course for a happy future.

Louisa May Alcott's Fairy Tales and Fantasy Stories

by Louisa May Alcott

"Louisa May Alcott's bewitching fantasies and fairy tales are now restored to her readers; Daniel Shealy's sensitive editing and lucid introduction enhance this valuable collection." --Sarah Elbert, SUNY Binghamton



"We are all in Shealy's debt for making available this large, previously unstudied corpus of Louisa May Alcott's writing. Alcott is here truly presented as 'the child's friend.'" --Joel Myerson, University of South Carolina



Louisa May Alcott is best known for her domestic novels, including her classic tale Little Women. However, Alcott was also a pioneered in American fantasy fiction, having written thirty-eight fairy tales and fantasy stories that span her entire writing career, from 1854-1888. This is the first single volume to include all of Alcott's fantasy tales, many of which have not been published since the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Daniel Shealy's critical and historical introduction places Alcott's fantasy work into the context of American fantasy literature and culture.



A product of the age of moral fiction, Alcott was greatly influenced in her writings by both the didactic adult fantasy novelists of her day and her father's strong moral teachings. Recognizing the need for children's fantasy literature that possessed storylines and characters capable of subtly conveying the advantages of moral behavior, Alcott began writing didactic tales that aimed to stimulate children's imaginations, give recognition to their problems, and offer solutions or suggestions that would make them better individuals in society.



While these stories can make no claim to being great art, they are an important segment of Alcott's canon. They demonstrate that, while she was exploring new territory with some of her work, she was also working within the existing tradition of the didactic fairy tale. Covering the entire span of her literary career, these tales, from her first book to her last, prove she never lost the love of the "fairy folk."

Mujercitas (Novela) / Little Women (a Novel)

by Louisa May Alcott

La versión íntegra de Mujercitas. Uno de los libros más populares e influyentes de la tradición literaria norteamericana.

«Yo intentaré ser lo que él llama una "mujercita", y procuraré no ser tan tosca e indomable y cumpliré con mis obligaciones en casa en lugar de querer estar siempre en otra parte» --explicó Jo, convencida de que dominar su temperamento era una misión mucho más ardua que la de mantener a raya a unos cuantos rebeldes sureños.

Gracias a la edición de Austral, el lector puede acercarse a las aventuras de las cuatro hermanas March a través de la traducción de Gloria Méndez, que recupera el texto de la primera edición de la obra, publicada entre 1868 y 1869, y mantiene intactos el vigor y la contundencia de la novela de Louisa May Alcott.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The complete edition of Little Women. One of the most popular and influential books in American literary tradition.

"I will try to be what he calls a 'little woman, ' and strive not to be so rough and untamed, and fulfill my duties at home instead of always wanting to be somewhere else," Jo explained, convinced that mastering her temper was a much harder mission than keeping a few Southern rebels in check.

Thanks to Austral's edition, readers can immerse themselves in the adventures of the four March sisters through Gloria Méndez's translation, which restores the text of the first edition of the work, originally published between 1868 and 1869, preserving the strength and impact of Louisa May Alcott's novel.
