A Merry Christmas collects the treasured holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott, from the dearly familiar Yuletide benevolence of Marmee and her “little women” to the timeless “What Love Can Do,” wherein the residents of a boarding house come together to make a lovely Christmas for two poor girls. Wildly popular at the time of their publication—readers deluged...
3) Little men
Little Men, written by legendary author Louisa May Alcott, is widely considered to be one of the greatest books of all time. This great classic will surely attract a whole new generation of readers.
The lovable Jo March, introduced to us in Little Women, is now married, with two sons of her own and an adopted family of twelve boys. And she couldn't be happier.
Since starting an informal school at Plumfield, Jo and Professor Bhaer provide
...Meet the women who wrote.
They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father's house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world
...Published in 1886 and set ten years after Little Men, here is the third installment of the unofficial March family trilogy begun with Little Women. For Tommy, Dan, and the others, coming of age includes love, marriage, ambition, loyalty, career; adventure in Europe, the West, and the high seas; as well as crime, punishment, and redemption.
First serialized in a magazine, this classic tale of a country-raised girl whose whole world is turned upside down when she is sent to live with her sophisticated, wealthy relatives is brimming with the charms that have made Alcott's work, including the novel Little Women, so abidingly popular. A must-read for fans of classic children's literature, young and old alike.
Little Men is the sequel to Louisa May Alcott's classic, Little Women. It tells the story of the children at Jo's school, the Plumfield Estate School. It is followed by the novel Jo's Boys, the third and final novel in the unofficial Little Women trilogy, in which the children introduced in this novel reach adulthood.
Jo's Boys, and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to "Little Men" is commonly considered to be the last novel in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women series. It takes place ten years after Little Men and follows the children from that book into adulthood. Out in the world they deal with love, ambition, and the snobbery of society.
Two wonderful holiday stories that evoke the true meaning of the season.

John Brooke is home and planning a life with Meg, despite his modest financial situation. The other girls see promises of fulfillment ahead as well, as they grow and develop a certain amount of independence. Along the way, they all face painful trials, from Jo's struggle with her writing
...14) Rose in Bloom
Everyone seems to think lovely, wealthy Rose Campbell should get married. Everyone, that is, except Rose.
In this sequel to Eight Cousins, Rose returns to the Aunt Hill after two years of traveling around the world. Suddenly, she is surrounded by male admirers. But before she marries anyone, Rose is determined to establish herself as an independent young woman. To begin with, she is learning that riches do not bring happiness in themselves.
...A great collection of short stories based on the theme of love read by Martin Jarvis and Rosalind Ayres.
These are not archetypal love stories full of sentimentality, but the clever, poignant, humorous and even romantic stories set in an age of chivalry and honour. There are aspects of humour and respect in Mr. & Mrs. Dove, love from afar in the poignant tale, Angela, and a woman clouded in mystery in The Sphinx...
