LITTLE WOMEN. By Louisa M. Alcott.In Two Parts. Price of each $1.50.
“Simply one of the most charming little books that have fallen into our handsfor many a day. There is just enough of sadness in it to make it true to life, whileit is so full of honest work and whole-souled fun, paints so lively a picture of a homein which contentment, energy, high spirits, and real goodness make up for the lackof money, that it will do good wherever it finds its way. Few will read it withoutlasting profit.”—Hartford Courant.
“Little Women. By Louisa M. Alcott. We regard these volumes as twoof the most fascinating that ever came into a household. Old and young read themwith the same eagerness. Lifelike in all their delineations of time, place, andcharacter, they are not only intensely interesting, but full of a cheerful morality,that makes them healthy reading for both fireside and the Sunday school. Wethink we love ”Jo“ a little better than all the rest, her genius is so happy temperedwith affection.”—The Guiding Star.
The following verbatim copy of a letter from a “little woman” is a specimenof many which enthusiasm for her book has dictated to the author of “LittleWomen:”—
—— March 12, 1870.
Dear Jo, or Miss Alcott,—We have all been reading “Little Women,” andwe liked it so much I could not help wanting to write to you. We think you areperfectly splendid; I like you better every time I read it. We were all so disappointedabout your not marrying Laurie; I cried over that part,—I could not helpit. We all liked Laurie ever so much, and almost killed ourselves laughing overthe funny things you and he said.
We are six sisters and two brothers; and there were so many things in “LittleWomen” that seemed so natural, especially selling the rags.
Eddie is the oldest; then there is Annie (our Meg), then Nelly (that’s me),May and Milly (our Beths), Rosie, Rollie, and dear little Carrie (the baby).Eddie goes away to school, and when he comes home for the holidays we havelots of fun, playing cricket, croquet, base ball, and every thing. If you ever wantto play any of those games, just come to our house, and you will find plenty childrento play with you.
If you ever come to ——, I do wish you would come and see us,—we wouldlike it so much.
I have named my doll after you, and I hope she will try and deserve it.
I do wish you would send me a picture of you. I hope your health is better,and you are having a nice time.
If you write to me, please direct —— Ill. All the children send their love.
With ever so much love, from your affectionate friend,
Nelly.
