I have enjoyed Louisa May Alcott's writings for a long time, so I was thrilled to find this book! I was very eager to read it and it did not disappoint me!
If you are a fan of Louisa May Alcott, this book is a MUST! It is packed full of great stuff.
In this anthology you will find four autobiographical stories and essays; a selection of her letters; five poems by L.M.A.; selections from her journals from age 14 to shortly before her death; and four of her short stories.
There is also a section titled "Remembering Louisa May Alcott." This portion includes essays, photographs, drawings and a poem. Fascinating!
Included at the back of the book are suggestions for further reading and a checklist of illustrations. It was very interesting to read about L.M.A and see photos of her and places she had lived.
Another interesting note is that her life was very similar to the March family in "Little Women".
This is a great book! Interesting and factual with much of Louisa's work I have not found anywhere else. Worth buying!
