About the Books
Little Women introduces the four March sisters growing up in New England during the American Civil War, a story of family, sacrifice, love and perseverance that has captivated readers for over 150 years. Good Wives continues their journey into adulthood, following the sisters as they navigate marriage, motherhood, ambition and the everyday complexities of life beyond childhood. Little Men shifts focus to Jo and her husband, Professor Bhaer, as they open Plumfield, a school for boys filled with laughter, mischief and valuable life lessons. Jo's Boys, the final instalment, revisits Plumfield's students years later as grown men and women facing new challenges, romances and triumphs. Together, the four novels form a rich, multi-generational portrait of the March family that explores themes of resilience, sisterhood, personal growth and social change. Alcott's warm, observant storytelling and vivid characters have made this saga a mainstay of classic literature, beloved by children and adults alike. Presented in matching hardback editions, the set suits first-time readers and lifelong fans alike, sturdily bound for repeated reading and equally at home on a bookshelf or as a thoughtful gift.

About the Author
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American novelist, short story writer and poet best known for Little Women (1868) and its sequels Good Wives (1869), Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised in New England by transcendentalist parents Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott, she grew up among the era's leading intellectuals, including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. An advocate for women's suffrage and abolition, Alcott drew on her own family life to create one of literature's most enduring coming-of-age sagas.
