Louisa M. Alcott 



LITTLE WOMEN. This is one of the most delightful books for girls 

 ever written. The girls are very amusing types, and their experiences are 

 told in a way which appeals to all. The character of Jo is drawn very 

 vividly, and we grow to love the girl who manages to get into so many 

 scrapes and then get out of them cleverly. 



LITTLE WOMEN WEDDED. This is a continuation of the life of 

 " Little Women." Meg, happily married at the beginning of the book, 

 experiences the many trials and amusing difficulties of a young wife. As 

 the book draws to a close we see the " Little Women " changed into 

 " Good Wives " and all ends happily. 



LITTLE MEN. The further experiences of Jo are related in this enter- 

 taining book, for she sets up a school for poor neglected boys. Although 

 a hard task, she and Professor Bhaer manage it well, and the boys all 

 thought of " Mother" and " Father" Bhaer with thankful hearts. Of course, 

 the lads get into scrapes, which helps to make the book most amusing. 



UNDER THE LILACS. Ben and his dog Sancho run away from a circus 

 and find a home with Bob and Betty in the old house under the lilacs, 

 and his many adventures there with the children are described with 

 humour and sympathy in Miss Alcott's typical style. 



AN OLD-FASHIONED GIRL. A delightful study of a healthy country 

 girl, who goes to stay with rich friends. Everybody learns to love her for 

 her charm and unselfishness, and she proves a helpful person when her 

 friends become bankrupt. She eventually marries the son and all ends 

 happily. 



EIGHT COUSINS. This is the story of a little girl, Rose, who has 

 lost both her parents, and who goes to live with her aunts and seven boy 

 cousins. Her Uncle Max, a breezy sea captain, who is also her guardian, 

 and herself, are two very lovable characters. 



ROSE IN BLOOM. The further story of " Rose." The charming bud 

 of a girl blooms out into a beautiful and lovable maiden, the friend, the 

 peacemaker, the beloved of all especially of the one with whom she finds 

 happiness. 



JO'S BOYS. This delightful story deals with the " Little Men " when 

 they grow up. The irrepressible Tommy Bangs still gets into his scrapes. 

 Jo's own children help towards the making of the book, and in Teddy 

 one can see the old Jo of " Little Women." 



AUNT JO'S SCRAP-BAG AND SHAWL STRAPS. The Scrap- 

 Bag is a real treasure house, and " Shawl-Straps " a delightful account 

 of the run through Europe of a party of charming American girls. Brittany, 

 France, Switzerland, Italy, are all pleasantly and cleverly treated, whim- 

 sical adventures told, and we get a quaint picture of London in the days 

 of our mothers. < 



SILVER PITCHERS. Eight stories in Miss Alcott's best vein; jolly 

 girls and equally jolly boys, full of life and spirits and delightful to spend 

 an evening with. Letty's Tramp is particularly good, and Letty as tender 

 as the Tramp is strong and true. 



JACK AND JILL. A vivid portrayal of the home and school life of 

 Jack and Jill, and their friends in a New England village. Jack and Jill 

 commence with a spill but Jack soon recovers, though Jill is badly injured. 

 However, with other children, they have a gloriously happy time doing 

 all manner of interesting things.
