Editorial Reviews

Review

'this children's novel for all ages is vivid from the very first sentence. ... a children's classic ... lovers of the book will find Valerie Alderson's informed and enthusiastic introduction a valuable bonus, especially about the closely autobiographical nature of the book.'

This is a very quaint version of Little Women. I like it. For someone like me, who doesn't want to reread the whole original novel of Little Women, this is a good alternative for a recap. It plainly covers all of the significant events of the story with just enough detail. They should make this required reading in school for the little ones. I think children would find great pleasure in it.
