A deluxe edition of enchanting fairy tales and fables from an American literary icon.

The beloved story of four sisters growing up in the mid-19th century is now available in an unabridged, illustrated, cloth hardcover volume in Union Square and Co.’s Signature Clothbound Editions series. Ladylike Meg, tomboy Jo, sensitive Beth, and charming Amy?each March sister has her own dreams, struggles, and fears. The March sisters come to see that learning how to be a “little woman” is never simple, but it’s much sweeter to do when they have their sisters by their sides.

The four March girls live together, as different as sisters as can be. There is sensible, romantic Meg and sweet, sunshiny Beth. There is Jo who burns with the ambition to be a writer and there is Amy who wishes for a more beautiful nose. Simple, true, and keenly resonant with life, spirit and affection, ‘Little Women’ is a beloved classic for the ages.

Meg is the eldest and on the brink of love. Then there’s tomboy Jo who longs to be a writer. Sweet-natured Beth always puts others first, and finally there’s Amy, the youngest and most precocious. Together they are the March sisters. Even though money is short, times are tough and their father is away at war, their infectious sense of fun sweeps everyone up in their adventures – including Laurie, the boy next door. And through sisterly squabbles, their happy times and sad ones too, the sisters discover that growing up is sometimes very hard to do.

Christmas won’t be the same this year in the March household, with Father at war and Mother struggling to make ends meet. But even though times are tough, the March sisters’ spirits remain high! Together, through love, heartache, and a ‘misplaced’ manuscript, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy learn that growing up and into the ‘little women’ society expects them to be is going to be much harder than they thought.

This stunning Oxford Children’s Classic edition is the perfect introduction to Little Women-the ultimate tale of sisterhood. Features the complete unabridged text, an introduction by Laura Dockrill, and other bonus material including insights for readers, facts, activities and more . . .
