![]() ![]() ![]() After both volumes were published, American publishers decided to combine the two stories into one book, with Part One being the original Little Women and Part Two being the original Good Wives. What most people think of as Little Women today was actually first published in two volumes, Little Women (1868) and Good Wives (1869). I love everything about this book, from the moralistic teachings of Marmee, to the sweet sisterly relationships, to the atmospheric scenes and the vivid account of a late 1800s New England upbringing. “Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents” reads the famous opening line. Little Women (Part One) opens on Christmas day. These are the cozy books, the heartwarming ones, the ones you want to sit by the fire and muse over for hours on end on a cold, snowy night. When I think of the holidays, several books come to mind. I am so excited to announce TWO new illustrated books, Little Women and Good Wives by Louisa May Alcott, available for pre-order on November 1st. ![]()
