Little men

£7.99

Spirited Jo March, now Mrs Bhaer, has settled into living and teaching at Plumfield boarding school, also home to a lively band of orphan boys. Jo’s many pupils include Nat, a shy but talented musician, Dan, an ill-mannered troublemaker and Tommy Bangs, the school’s mischievous class clown. Despite the troubles and scrapes that come with adolescent life, the lessons of kindness and gratitude taught at Plumfield prove to have a profound impact on each child. Published in 1871, ‘Little Men’ was received with delight by the many who cherished the coming-of-age tale ‘Little Women’, and proved a worthy sequel. Wisdom, courage and love is at the heart of Louisa May Alcott’s writing, which continues to inspire and give solace to readers around the world today.

Description

‘The small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people, and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed’

Continuing the adventures of the March sisters from Little Women, Little Men follows the story of spirited, determined Jo, now married with two sons, and running a school. But this is no conventional school. Its pupils are a band of boisterous orphans, pillow fights are allowed on Saturdays, and each child is respected for who they are – including Nat, a skinny, nervous boy with a talent for the violin.

Showing how families can take many forms, Louisa M. Alcott’s beloved novel is a celebration of the magic of childhood.
