Little girls, especially, love following the adventures of the four March sisters--Meg, Beth, Amy, and most of all, the tomboy Jo--as they experience the joys and disappointments, tragedies and triumphs, of growing up. This simpler version captures all the charm and warmth of the original. Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1832. Two years later, she moved with her family to Boston and in 1840 to Concord, which was to remain her family home for the rest of her life. Her father, Bronson Alcott, was a transcendentalist and friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Alcott early realized that her father could not be counted on as sole support of his family, and so she sacrificed much of her own pleasure to earn money by sewing, teaching, and churning out potboilers. Her reputation was established with Hospital Sketches (1863), which was an account of her work as a volunteer nurse in Washington, D.C. Alcott's first works were written for children, including her best-known Little Women (1868--69) and Little Men: Life at Plumfield with Jo's Boys (1871). Moods (1864), a "passionate conflict," was written for adults. Alcott's writing eventually became the family's main source of income. Throughout her life, Alcott continued to produce highly popular and idealistic literature for children. An Old-Fashioned Girl (1870), Eight Cousins (1875), Rose in Bloom (1876), Under the Lilacs (1878), and Jack and Jill (1881) enjoyed wide popularity. At the same time, her adult fiction, such as the autobiographical novel Work: A Story of Experience (1873) and A Modern Mephistopheles (1877), a story based on the Faust legend, shows her deeper concern with such social issues as education, prison reform, and women's suffrage. She realistically depicts the problems of adolescents and working women, the difficulties of relationships between men and women, and the values of the single woman's life. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z New England $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Family life $z New England $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New England $x History $y 19th century $v Juvenile fiction. 651 1 $a New England $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a McKowen, Scott, $e illustrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 800 1 $a Alcott, Louisa May. $t Little Women. $s Spoken word ; $v bk. 1 830 0 $a Sterling classics. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12438545?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/oas_9781645550228_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20191004010459.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=46F8F550E66C11E99CD11AFC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
