Edition DescriptionDeluxe

SynopsisTimeless in its evocation of idealized family life and robustly enduring, Little Women is recognized as one of the best-loved classic children's stories of all time. Originally written as a "girls" story, its appeal transcends the boundaries of time and age, making it as popular with adults as it is with young readers. For this is a beguiling story of happiness and hope, of the joys of companionship, domestic harmony and infinite mother love, all seen through the life of the March family. But which of the four March sisters to love best? For every reader must have their favorite. Independent, tomboyish Jo; delicate, loving Beth; pretty, kind Meg, or precocious and beautiful Amy, the baby of the family? Little Women was an instant success when first published in 1868, and followed only a year later by the sequel, Little Wives .

Little Women
This has always been a favorite book of mine since being a young girl. This is a beautiful book with very little wear in excellent condition. The colored pictures in it are beautiful. I would recommend this book to any family especially those with young girls. It is a great book to read aloud. It is a great collectible if for nothing but remembering great memories. I love to relive this era and look at all the beautiful clothes men and women wore. This is such a wonderful family story and one to be remembered through all the years to come.

Perfect
This is the edition of Little Women I grew up with. I had lost my copy. This one is in perfect condition. I have always loved these beautiful color illustration plates and the sketches. It is unabridged. My daughter and are reading it together now. There's a reason the book is a classic. The story of these women and their joys and struggles in Civil War times speaks to the heart in relevant ways. Quick delivery. Amazing price. Thank you so much!

"Little Women" a joy to re-read and a very well written book.
The book is in superb condition to be published in 1970. The book was carefully wrapped to protect it against being torn or damaged. Te book is an old favorite and I was so glad to again the Junior Classics version. It is a pleasure to re-read "Little Women"; it's one of the best stories ever written. I greatly appreciate the book's owner packing the book so carefully and sending the book so quickly. GREAT service!!

Almost too nice to use!
I was looking for a copy to cut apart to use in junk journals and this copy was almost too good to do that to. (But I did do it)
