A tragic accident leaves fun-loving Jill and good-natured Jack
cooped up for months. During this time they learn some valuable
lessons and are cheered up by their friends. Jill and her two
friends begin a missionary society, while Jack helps a troubled
youth stay on the straight and narrow. Louisa May Alcott has done
an excellent job of showing the real life of children during the
1800s. Originally published in 1880 this timeless tale is just as
inspiring and enjoyable today as when it was first written. Mrs.
Sarah J. Hale, author of Mary Had a Little Lamb said, "Miss Alcott
has a faculty of entering into the lives and feelings of children
that is conspicuously wanting in most writers who address them." A
review by Amy Puetz, author of Uncover Exciting History,
www.AmyPuetz.com, says, "A book superior to Little Women Louisa May
Alcott was a rare author who truly made the lives of children come
to life. This is one of her rare treasures that needs to be
discovered by a whole new generation of boys and girls." Short
biography about the author, Louisa May Alcott was born in 1832. She
was an imaginative child who loved to make up stories. During the
American Civil War she served as a nurse. In 1863 she wrote about
her experiences in Hospital Sketches. Her real success came a few
years later with the publication of Little Women in 1868. From that
time until her death in 1888 she continued to write books for
children.
