She has known the way to the hearts of young people, not only in her own class, or even country, but in every condition of life, and in many foreign lands. Plato says, \"Beware of those who teach fables to children;\" and it is impossible to estimate the influence which the popular writer of fiction has over the audience he wins to listen to his tales. The preacher, the teacher, the didactic writer find their audience in hours of strength, with critical faculties all alive, to question their propositions and refute their arguments. The novelist comes to us in the intervals of recreation and relaxation, and by his seductive powers of imagination and sentiment takes possession of the fancy and the heart before judgment and reason are aroused to defend the citadel. It well becomes us, then, who would iv guard young minds from subtle temptations, to study the character of those works which charm and delight the children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf no author can it be more truly said than of Louisa Alcott that her works are a revelation of herself. She rarely sought for the material of her stories in old chronicles, or foreign adventures. Her capital was her own life and experiences and those of others directly about her; and her own well-remembered girlish frolics and fancies were sure to find responsive enjoyment in the minds of other girls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFLOWER FABLES\u003cbr\u003eHOSPITAL SKETCHES\u003cbr\u003eLITTLE WOMEN\u003cbr\u003eA STRANGE ISLAND\u003cbr\u003ePERILOUS PLAY\u003cbr\u003eAN OLD-FASHIONED GIRL\u003cbr\u003eLITTLE MEN: LIFE AT PLUMFIELD WITH JO'S BOYS\u003cbr\u003eWORK: A STORY OF EXPERIENCE\u003cbr\u003eEIGHT COUSINS\u003cbr\u003eROSE IN BLOOM\u003cbr\u003eUNDER THE LILACS\u003cbr\u003eJACK AND JILL\u003cbr\u003eJO'S BOYS\u003cbr\u003eA GARLAND FOR GIRLS\u003cbr\u003eDR DORN'S REVENGE\u003cbr\u003eLOST IN A PYRAMID, OR THE MUMMY'S CURSE\u003cbr\u003ePAULINE'S PASSION AND PUNISHMENT\u003cbr\u003eMARJORIE'S THREE GIFTS\u003cbr\u003eTHE MYSTERIOUS KEY AND WHAT IT OPENED\u003cbr\u003eTHE LOUISA ALCOTT READER\u003cbr\u003eI.\u003cbr\u003eA CHRISTMAS DREAM, AND HOW IT CAME TRUE.\u003cbr\u003eII.\u003cbr\u003eTHE CANDY COUNTRY.\u003cbr\u003eIII.\u003cbr\u003eNAUGHTY JOCKO.\u003cbr\u003eIV.\u003cbr\u003eTHE SKIPPING SHOES.\u003cbr\u003eV.\u003cbr\u003eCOCKYLOO.\u003cbr\u003eVI.\u003cbr\u003eROSY'S JOURNEY.\u003cbr\u003eVII.\u003cbr\u003eHOW THEY RAN AWAY.\u003cbr\u003eTHE FAIRY BOX.\u003cbr\u003eIX.\u003cbr\u003eA HOLE IN THE WALL.\u003cbr\u003eX.\u003cbr\u003eTHE PIGGY GIRL.\u003cbr\u003eKITTY'S CLASS DAY AND OTHER STORIES\u003cbr\u003eA MODERN CINDERELLA\u003cbr\u003eON PICKET DUTY AND OTHER TALES\u003cbr\u003eBEHIND A MASK, OR A WOMAN'S POWER\u003cbr\u003eTHE ABBOT'S GHOST, OR MAURICE TREHERNE'S TEMPTATION","brand":"LOUISA MAY ALCOTT LITTLE WOMEN LITTLE MEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069491593456,"sku":"2940014739085","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014739085_p0.jpg?v=1763615030","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014739085","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
