Good Wives by Louisa May Alcott, Fiction, Family, Classics (Hardcover): Louisa May Alcott Good Wives by Louisa May Alcott, Fiction, Family, Classics (Hardcover)
Louisa May Alcott
R792 Discovery Miles 7 920 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Time has brought changes to the March household -- home of the girls Jo, Amy, Beth and Meg, introduced in Louisa May Alcott's classic novel "Little Women."

Having returned safely from war, Mr. March has become a trusted and beloved minister in the local parish. Home, too, is young John Brooke, whose plans for a shared life with Meg, however modest and poor that life may turn out to be, make the eldest March girl think herself the happiest soul in Christendom. The young lovers will live in a charming little house dubbed "The Dovecote," with its front lawn the size of a handkerchief.

Life promises adventures and fulfillment for the other March girls, as well -- for not only are their talents developing, but they are growing older and more accomplished in the complicated matter of living their own lives. Tomboyish Jo's curly crop is lengthening into long coils, and she is learning to carry herself with ease -- if not quite with grace. Beth has grown slender, pale, and more quiet than ever, with beautiful eyes brimming with kindness. And Amy, the flower of the family, at sixteen already has the air and bearing of a full-gown woman, and exerts an indescribable charm -- especially on young men.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-88) was active in the temperance and women's suffrage movements of the 19th century. It is for her popular fiction that she is best remembered, however. Her series of novels beginning with "Little Women, " and continuing with "Good Wives, " ranks high among the best children's series of all time.

Treasure Island (Hardcover): Robert Louis Stevenson Treasure Island (Hardcover)
Robert Louis Stevenson; Illustrated by Louis Rhead, Frank E. Schoonover
R677 Discovery Miles 6 770 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

It was in 1880 and 1881 that Robert Louis Stevenson wrote "Treasure Island," which was begun at Braemar, Scotland, where his father aided him with suggestions from his own seafaring experiences. It was finished in the course of his second visit to Davos in the winter of 1881-1882. "Treasure Island," which appeared when the author was thirty-one, was his first long romance, and it brought to him his first taste of popular success, when the story was published in book form. It was in October 1881, that this story began to appear as a serial in an English magazine called "Young Folks." The title then was "The Sea Cook, or Treasure Island," but when published in book form in May 1883, the name was simply "Treasure Island," a name which has taken its place among the titles of far older classics. This edition contains the superb illustrations of Louis Rhead, which were first published in 1915.

The five children found the Sand-fairy while they were exploring in the gravel pit. "Don't you know a Sand-fairy when you see one?" it asked them. The Sand-fairy smoothed his long ratlike whiskers and smiled between them. I daresay you have often thought what you would do if you had three wishes given you. "We want," said Robert slowly, "to be rich beyond the dreams of something or other." But we all know that wishes for avarice never work out the way they are supposed to. . . . and to his credit, the Sand-fairy was never mean spirited, nor vengeful, nor destructive. But he cartainly could be _weird_. . . . (Jacketless library hardcover.)
