{"product_id":"9781781397657","title":"The Complete Little Women: Little Women, Good Wives, Little Men, Jo's Boys (Unabridged)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLouisa May Alcott ended \u003cem\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/em\u003e (1868) with the words “So the curtain falls upon Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. Whether it ever rises again, depends upon the reception given the first act of the domestic drama called \u003cem\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/em\u003e.” It was an immediate commercial and critical success, and readers demanded to know more about the characters. Alcott quickly completed a second volume, \u003cem\u003eGood Wives \u003c\/em\u003e(1869), and later \u003cem\u003eLittle Men \u003c\/em\u003e(1871) and \u003cem\u003eJo’s Boys \u003c\/em\u003e(1886). The novels follow the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Beth, Jo and Amy, each with a very different character. It has been argued that within \u003cem\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/em\u003e one finds the first vision of the \"All-American girl\" and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters. But whatever the reason, generations of readers have loved these novels since they were first published.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis edition, containing \u003cem\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGood Wives\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLittle Men\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eJo’s Boys\u003c\/em\u003e, is complete and unabridged.
