According to literary critic Sarah Elbert, when using the term "little women" Alcott was drawing on its Dickensian meaning; it represented the period in a young woman's life where childhood and elder childhood are "overlapping" with young womanhood. She spends six months with a friend of her mother who runs a boarding house in New York City, serving as governess for her two children.HALF TITLE PG HAS CHIPS WEAR ON RITE EDGE, INNER HINGES STARTING SLIGHTLY , Unique pictures of actors in stage play throughout on glossy paper. Both the passion Little Women has engendered in diverse readers and its ability to survive its era and transcend its genre point to a text of unusual permeability.

The groundbreaking debut novel of Hugo Award-winning author Becky Chambers, one of the most imaginative voices in contemporary science fiction, is a truly galactic limited edition. The first volume was published in 1868 with illustrations by Louisa’s younger sister May - the inspiration for the character of ‘Amy’ in the novel. It was an immediate success, and Roberts Brothers set about reprinting it in a somewhat disorganized manner.Although it is not based on a true story, it is loosely inspired by the author's childhood experiences with her three sisters and her father’s educational philosophy. Because the Professor is poor, the wedding must wait while he establishes a good income by going out west to teach. Like Jo in Little Women, Louisa also wrote many "blood and thunder" tales, which were published in popular periodicals of the day. They make a special room for her, filled with all the things she loves best: her kittens, her piano, Father's books, Amy's sketches, and her beloved dolls.

Little Women has a timeless resonance which reflects Alcott's grasp of her historical framework in the 1860s.

All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest.
