By 1888, twenty years after the publication of "Little Women,
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was one of the most popular and
successful authors America had yet produced. In her "pre--"Little
Women days, she concocted blood-and-thunder tales for low wages;
pots--""Little Women, she specialized in domestic novels and short
stories for children. Collected here for the first time are the
reminiscences of people who knew her, the majority of which have
not been published since their original appearance in the 19th and
early 20th centuries. Many of the printed recollections in this
books appeared after Alcott became famous and showcase her as a
literary lion, but others focus on her teen years, when she was
living the life of 10 March: these intimate glimpses into the life
of the Alcott family lead the reader to one conclusion: the family
was happy, fun, and entertaining, very much like the fictional
Marches. The recollections about an older and wealthier Alcott show
a kind and generous, albeit outspoken, woman little changed by her
money and status. From Annie Sawyer Downs's description of life in
Concord to Anna Alcott Pratt's recollections of the Alcott sisters'
acting days to Julian Hawthorne's neighborly portrait of the
Alcotts, the thirty-six recollections in this copiously illustrated
volume tell the private and public story of a remarkable life.
