Little Women, (Paperback)

<p><strong>Little Women</strong> is the classic coming-of-age tale of four sisters on their journey to adulthood. Though today it's considered a classic, <strong>Little Women</strong> almost wasn't written: Alcott wanted to publish a collection of short stories instead, but her publisher and her father pressed her to write a book that would appeal to a wide audience of young girls.The first volume was written quickly and published in <strong>1868</strong>; it was a huge success, and Alcott composed the second volume just as quickly and published it in <strong>1869</strong>. By her own account she didn't enjoy writing them, and both she and her publisher agreed the first few chapters were dull-so it almost goes without saying she was pleasantly shocked at the positive reception the volumes received.By <strong>1927</strong> it had been acknowledged as one of the most widely-read novels of the era, and remains widely read today.</p>
