Little Women (Unabridged Classic) [Paperback]

Alcott's four March sisters keep a household running through a wartime winter while their father is away, and the novel stays with the small economies and quarrels that fill those months. The unabridged Penguin Select Classics paperback runs 256 pages. Jo's writing ambitions, Meg's domestic pull, Beth's quiet and Amy's determination give the book four separate arcs instead of one, and much of its lasting appeal comes from how ordinary the material is: amateur theatricals, borrowed dresses, burnt manuscripts and neighbours. It remains one of the few nineteenth century novels about girls' work and ambition that is still read by choice rather than assignment. Inside this edition: • Unabridged text in a 256-page paperback • Penguin Select Classics presentation • Four distinct sister storylines running in parallel • A frequent gift choice and family read A dependable pick for teenage and adult readers of classic fiction alike, published under Penguin Select Classics and available at Boipoka.
