The Little Women 4 Books Collection Box Set By Louisa May Alcott: Good Wives: Good Wives, part two of the hugely popular Little Women by American novelist Louisa May Alcott, is a coming-of-age novel. For Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth, life unfolds in unique ways. There are gentle, low-key love stories, some humour, and a very sad, passing away of one of the sisters.The enduring appeal of this novel is its vivid depiction of its 19th-century time period. Jo's Boys: Jo's Boys revisit Plumfield after ten years and recall adventures of their own. Jo's motherly nature is evident while flashes of the young and rebellious Jo also crop up. The powerful depiction of the safe haven where the children can return at any time, where all dreams are respected and all flaws accepted, this is a bittersweet story that beautifully ends the Little Women series. Little Men: Two homeless boys from Boston find themselves at Plumfield, a rural boarding school run by Jo and her husband, Mr Bhaer. From boisterous pillow fights on designated Saturdays to learning how to run a business, life at Plumfield is an unconventional but effective education at all times.
