Louisa May Alcott's Little Women was a critically acclaimed
bestseller upon its publication in 1868. It tells the story of
sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March - each a young woman with a
distinctive and relatable personality, a rare feature for a
children's novel at the time. The novel continues to resonate with
readers as a timeless tale of growing up. This is the first modern
edition of Little Women to feature the complete illustrations of
Clara Miller Burd, originally executed in 1926. Burd's brilliant
colour plates and detailed drawings bring the world of the March
family to life. An introduction by Alice A. Carter, an expert on
Golden Age illustration, explores Burd's life and the work of early
20th-century women illustrators. This new edition, handsomely bound
in cloth, will be the perfect gift for all devotees of Little
Women.
