DESCRIPTION:
More About Meg, Jo, Beth & Amy If you're an Alcott fan, as I am, this volume will be a delight. I've read LITTLE WOMEN since childhood (all the way back to when I complained to my mother when I found out I read an abridged edition--I wanted the whole story!) and, by dint of further reading, found out many of the historical background items for this book, but this collects all of them in a super package, from the many references to Bunyan's PILGRIM"S PROGRESS, to how book events paralleled the Alcotts' real lives, to definitions of familiar objects and terms in the 19th century that have since disappeared, like a charabanc, pickled limes (which, BTW, sound disgusting!. An old classic worthy of a spot in my library Just Sayin' Little Women is an old classic that was simply begging to be re-read. I think I started the book so many times when I was in elementary school that I had actually memorized the opening chapter. Every word rang as familiar to my eyes and heart as a forgotten Christmas Carol. But, but I don't remember ever finishing the book -- until this time.It's written in an old-fashioned style, and a little harder to follow than some more modern literature, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Even the rhythm of the words takes you back to a sweeter simpler time which was in reality a very harsh time in American history. For the uninitiated, LW de. Jen E. said Huh?. Just received a home made printed copy of Little Women. No copyright page - nothing. The cover picture is a blurry digital copy of a photo of the picture. I've never seen this before. I'm sure the entire story is probably contained in this printing, and all I really want is to read the story; but, is this right? And it says this was sold by Amazon, not some random sketchy dealer. Not cool for those who receive money from the sale of this book. No invoice enclosed. Have never encountered this. Am I missing something? Could someone shed some light?
