Good Condition – light cover creasing and page-edge tanning.

Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March are growing up in Massachusetts while their father serves away from home during the American Civil War. Guided by their loving mother, Marmee, the sisters face limited means with imagination, humour and determination. Sensible Meg dreams of a home of her own, fiercely independent Jo longs to become a writer, gentle Beth finds joy in music and ambitious Amy pursues art and refinement. Their friendship with neighbouring Laurie brings companionship, mischief and complicated affection as childhood begins to give way to adulthood. Louisa May Alcott’s enduring novel follows the March family through celebrations, quarrels, illness, work, romance and loss. Warm, honest and deeply humane, Little Women celebrates family devotion while recognising that each sister must discover her own values and create a life true to herself.
