About the Author
Louisa May Alcott (1832--88) was brought up in Pennsylvania, USA. She turned to writing in order to supplement the family income and had many short stories published in magazines and newspapers. Then, in 1862, during the height of the American Civil War, Louisa went to Georgetown to work as a nurse, but she contracted typhoid. Out of her experiences she wrote Hospital Sketches (1864) which won wide acclaim, followed by an adult novel, Moods. She was reluctant to write a children's book but then realized that in herself and her three sisters she had the perfect models. The result was Little Women (1868) which became the earliest American children's novel to become a classic

a worthy sequel,
By A Customer
This review is from: Puffin Classics Good Wives (Paperback)
Sequel seldom works but this book is better than the first one, 'cause it explores the mind of it's charecters more truthfully then the first one.Here in this book they look more real and alive.The lose of the Beth is the great one but they bear it truely, Jo's charecter comes out so vividly that it dominated the whole book. It is a delight to read.

This my favourite book in the series. With all the unexpected twists in an amazing plot I can see why Louisa May Alccott is so popular I am 14 and have just finished yr10 at high school and completed an Author review for english where I had to read all the books written by 1 author and I found that this was easily my favourite of the Little women series.
