Little Women: Louisa Alcott

Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child.

I`ll try and be what he loves to call me, `a little woman,` and not be rough and wild; but do my duty here instead of wanting to be somewhere else.

Meg is sweet-tempered. Jo is smart. Beth, shy. And Amy - sassy, stubborn and ambitious. Together they`re the March sisters. Even though money is short, times are tough and their father is away at war, their infectious sense of fun sweeps everyone up in their adventures - including Laurie, the boy next door.

A transatlantic feminist classic, Little Women celebrates the lives and choices of women in a world not designed to accommodate their dreams.
