About the Author

Louisa May Alcott was both an abolitionist and a feminist. She is best known for Little Women (1868), a semiautobiographical account of her childhood years with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. Alcott, unlike Jo, never married: "... because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man." She was an advocate of women's suffrage and was the first woman to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Juvenile yet complex, March 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Under the Lilacs: From the Original Publisher (Paperback)

I enjoyed Under the Lilacs immensely. It is a wonderful story of children and how they mature. The characters at times seemed rather flat and uninteresting yet the story is a very fun one. It is full of laughter and tears and eventually a happy ending. I would recommend this book to people who have enjoyed Louisa May Alcott in the past or those who enjoy a relatively juvenile book yet will be able to understand references to relatively older literature.

This review is from: Under the Lilacs (Paperback)

Young people may find it corny, but older adults will delight in the adventures of a "lost boy" in a caring community (before social workers) and his adventures with the neighboring children. All the elements of old-fashioned story-telling: a crippled lad, a rich lady with horses, a day at the circus, the "stolen" money. This reprint has a lot of typos which, in a strange way, adds an authentic "feel" of the times.

This review is from: Under the Lilacs: From the Original Publisher (Paperback)

I have read a lot of Louisa May Alcott. I have to admit I had a hard time getting into this story and enjoying it. I ended up putting the book down and not finishing it after several attempts.
