About this series
Beautiful and proper Meg, headstrong Jo, gentle Beth, pampered little Amy—generations of young women have recognized themselves in one or more of the devoted March sisters. Set against the backdrop of the Civil War and the changing seasons of New England, the story of their passage from adolescence to adulthood—from a Christmas without presents to a glorious fall day in a bountiful apple orchard, from castles in the air to real-life hearths and homes—is just as touching and illuminating today as it was a century and a half ago.
Based on author Louisa May Alcott’s own childhood and early career as a writer, Little Women is her masterpiece and one of the most popular novels of all time.

- Little Men
The second novel in the Little Women series follows the further adventures of the now-married Jo March, her two sons, and her school for boys. After inheriting the Plumfield estate at the end of Little Women, Jo March and her husband, Prof. Friedrich Bhaer, have opened an experimental boys’ school for orphans and troubled teens. Along with Nathaniel “Nat” Blake—the new boy with a musical talent and a penchant for lying—wild Dan and the other students embark on a rollicking journey of missteps and misadventures, guided by the loving hand of Jo and her family. “A brilliant family tale.” —thebookwormery “Alcott still knows how to spin a domestic tale with perfect ease. . . . A true classic in every sense of the word. If you loved the March sisters, there is a good chance you will love the boys and girls at Plumfield almost as much. There are definitely some tearjerkers in this one as well but for those who still haven’t read it, I won’t spoil the surprises in store.” —The Silver Petticoat Review
- Jo's Boys
Jo March and the Plumfield boys return in the third novel in the Little Women series, following Little Men. A decade after the events of Little Men, Jo’s Boys returns to the Plumfield estate, where Jo and her husband, Prof. Friedrich Bhaer, still run their boys’ school. With the March sisters’ children embarking on their own grown-up adventures, Jo immerses herself in the lives of her students—both present and past. Freespirited Dan seeks his fortune in the Wild West, Nat’s musical career takes him to Europe, and Friedrich’s nephew Emil sets sail and is tragically shipwrecked. Their fates will depend on their strength of character and the lessons learned under Jo and Friedrich’s loving tutelage. “This is the final instalment in the story of the March family, which is now the Bhaer, Brooke, Laurence and March families, and is a nice conclusion to the tale started in Little Women. There is still so much to know about these characters and I personally like the fact that you are left to imagine the rest of the story yourself.” —thebookwormery
