Description
Louisa May Alcott's Little Men: Life at Plumfield with Jo's Boys is a heartwarming tale of education and nurturing. Published just two years after the success of Little Women and Good Wives, this novel was written to provide for Alcott's sister and nephews, and it has become a testament to her father's theories on cultivating the young mind. Set in a school run by Jo and her husband, Professor Bhaer, the story follows the different ways in which the children respond to this kind of nurturing. With a focus on helping the children 'unfold as naturally and beautifully as sun and dew help roses bloom', the novel offers a unique approach to education that is both gentle and effective. First published in 1871, Little Men has proven to be a popular and enduring work, selling 42,000 copies in its first year after publication. This edition, published in 1995, offers a chance to experience Alcott's timeless story once again.
