Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women which was published in 1868. Aclott then wrote a sequel which was published in 1869, however she was not able to secure copyright for her work in Great Britain and a number of publishers took the opportunity to reprint it without her consent. Part Two was given new titles, such as Little Women Wedded (Sampson Low, 1872), Little Women Married (Sampson Low, 1873), Nice Wives (Weldon \u0026amp; Co.,1875), and finally, Good Wives (Nisbet, 1895). In 1881, both texts were revised, re-illustrated and republished in a single volume by Roberts Brothers and Part Two of Little Women became chapters 24-47.

The other lion was the fact that they were poor and Laurie rich, for this made them shy of accepting favors which they could not return.

She wrote both books for all young people who enjoy a thumping good story that doesn’t hang fire. In this book the reader can meet again Jo March the real heroine of Little Women. But now she is a staid married woman but still with a twinkle in her eye. Left a large estate at Plumfield by her aunt, she decides to run the house that goes with it as a boarding school for boys. Her husband Frederich Bhaer is well in the scheme too and from the moment Plumfield School is open there is full for all concerned.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39304039465047,"sku":"6614387","price":39.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/products\/little-women-louisa-may-alcott-blackie_1.jpg?v=1649169128"},{"product_id":"louisa-may-alcotts-good-wives-1974-bancroft-books","title":"Louisa May Alcott’s Good Wives 1974 - Bancroft Books","description":"Title: Good Wives\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Louisa May Alcott\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bancroft Books\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 1974 \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003eCondition: This book is in good condition for its age other than some minor signs of wear.

Read as Miss Alcott describes the characters of Daisy and Demi - I cannot feel that I have done my duty as humble historian of the March family, without devoting at least one chapter to the two most precious and important members of it. Daisy and Demi had now arrived at years of discretion, for in this fast age babies of three or four assert their rights, and get them, too, which is more than many of their elders do. If there ever were a pair of twins in danger of being utterly spoiled by adoration, it was these prattling Brookes. Of course they were the most remarkable children ever born, as will be shown when I mention that they walked at eight months, talked fluently at twelve months, and at two years they took their places at table, and behaved with a propriety which charmed all beholders. - full of warmth and cheer!

Alcott in a illustrated cover. Alcott's sequel to her widely popular Little Women is just as beloved by those who read it. The novel follows the March sisters, Meg, Amy, Jo and Beth, three years after the events of Little Women. Now having to deal with the responsibilities and troubles of adulthood, each sister has her own worries to figure out. Meg is learning about married life, while Amy travels to Europe. Jo is writing and trying to get recognised and Beth still struggles with her weak health. Not to be missed if you loved the first story! This wonderful edition has a black and white frontispiece with a quote from chapter XXII: 'Prone upon the floor lay Mr. March, with his respectable legs in the air, and beside him, likewise prone, was Demi'.
