Little Women is one of the best-loved children's stories of all time, based on the author's own youthful experiences. It describes the family of the four March sisters living in a small New England community. Meg, the eldest, is pretty and wishes to be a lady; Jo, at 15 is ungainly and unconventional with an ambition to be an author; Beth is a delicate child of 13 with a taste for music and Amy is a blonde beauty of 12. The story of their domestic adventures, their attempts to increase the family income, their friendship with the neighbouring Laurence family, and their later love affairs remains as fresh and beguiling as ever. With bronze foil floral decoration on the pale pink board, textured linen cover with coloured page edges in pink, and a coordinated quality page marker. Complete and unabridged and with decorated end papers, a collectible new series from Wordsworth. 224 pages.
