Little Men Life at Plumfield with Jo's Boys (EasyRead Edition)

47 reviews
Louisa May Alcott

ReadHowYouWant, 2007

My favorite Alcott novel...
Mention the name Louisa May Alcott, and most people will instantly think of "Little Women." But in my mind, the less often discussed "Little Men" is just as great, if not better. The story picks up shortly after the conclusion of "Little Women," with Jo and Frederick Bhaer running a school at Plumfield. Along with their own little Rob and Teddy, they are busy raising the neglected children of ...

Invincible Louisa: The Story of the Author of Little Women

Little, Brown Young Readers, 1995

A Classic
I think that Invincible Louisa is a wonderful, well written book. No offence meant to the other reviewers of this book, but I think that Invincible Louisa did not drag along slowly at all. It is a wonderful book for 11, 12, and 13 year olds, or 10 year olds who are advanced in reading. However, to like this book, you have to like Little Women, or any other of Louisa's books. If you like books ...

John Matteson

W. W. Norton, 2007

excellent biography!
The author manages to do justice to both his subjects, Louisa May Alcott and her father. He also creates an excellent picture of the time and explains the transcendtalist movement. Besides L.M. Alcott and B. Alcott one learns a lot about Emerson, Thoreau, Elizabeth Peabody and other luminaries of the time. The book is fact driven, there are often long quotations from original material and it is ...

Knitting Little Luxuries: Beautiful Accessories to Knit

Sometimes it's a perfect match...
I bought this book for it's potential gift resources and discovered that the author and myself have very similar taste in yarn and accessories; so much so that for once I actually had the same yarns at hand for the patterns. We just clicked, and so did my needles. So far the patterns have been true to measure, really cute, and the recipients have loved them. I've combined some of these designs ...

House of Dark Delights

Bantam, 2007

FINALLY!
This is the erotica I've been waiting for my entire adult life: a fabulously exciting backdrop populated by the most outrageously sexy and original characters you could possibly imagine, doing, well, everything you could imagine and a whole lot more. How that library reviewer could have called HOUSE OF DARK DELIGHTS "mildly stimulating" is beyond me. All I have to say to her is, sweetheart, if ...

A World-Beating Trilogy of Human Kindness
As I re-read these delightful pages, I found myself comparing Little Women to Pride and Prejudice, that outstanding work that captures human psychology so well. The comparison made me see new depths in Little Women that convince me that Little Women is by far the stronger work. But my biggest reaction was how modern the views in the book are. Women should have education, access to ...

COURTESAN contains the perfect blend of innocence and sensuality.
Sarah Winslow was forced to sell everything in an attempt to pay the creditors and still couldn't cover them all. Left with no choice, Sarah signed a note for a loan naively selling herself into the hands of an exclusive brothel. With her love of botany, Sarah had hoped to earn a living and pay past debts by gardening, the patrons of the gaming establishment had offered garden designing ...

A Mini Magic Color Book: Baby Animals (Magic Color Books)

Louisa Sladen

Sterling/Pinwheel, 2005

A must have book for toddlers and affordable too!
I snatched up Baby Animals, Jungle Animals and Farm Animals in an airport store as soon as I flipped through one book. These are great for 1-3 year olds. My son still hasn't tired of the pull out animals which appear black and white on the page, but come to life in vivid colors once you pull out the tab. The animal set teaches toddlers to recognize different animals and learn about colors at ...

It Only Gets Better
If Eight Couisins was great, Rose In Bloom is classic! I left the child-hood friends in great anticipation of meeting them again as adults. At the same time, however, I felt an ominous sense of foreboding. . . Would Charlie and Mac ruin their friendship in vieing for their sweet cousin's hand? I could not imagine Mac striving with anyone over anything. So . . . what then? Would the romantic and ...

Be proactive in your child's education!
I am a teacher of children with mild to moderate specific learning disabilities who went through the teacher education program at Ashland University in Ohio. Like countless other teacher education programs, ours stressed only a "whole-language" model of instruction, to the exclusion of all others, especially those that stress explicit phonics instruction. I bought this book at a symposium given ...

Erotica is using a feather, pornography is using the whole chicken.-Isabel Allende
Enter into the Château de la Grotte Cachée (the castle of the hidden grotto), a secluded castle in France. It is the administrateur's job to provide carnal nourishment for the immortals or Follets, which live there; a djinni (shape shifter), a Nordic elf, the Goddess of the new moon and a satyr. Sex from mortals is something they can't live without. But because of their delicate status, they ...

Moods: A Novel (1881)

2 reviews
Louisa May Alcott

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2008

Alcott's first novel
As Alcott's first novel, this book is much more than a precursor to Little Women. It was also her attempt at serious literary recognition. Its intertexualities with the Transcendentalists, particularly Thoreau and Marget Fuller, make it an important book, as does its serious examination of a taboo subject in the 1860s: marriage and divorce. Although Alcott was not satisfied with the book, due ...

Louisa, May Alcott

University of Georgia Press, 1997

Almost Every Page Held Some New Amazement
The eloquent Miss Alcott, creator of Little Women, of course, was not only an interesting diarist, she was one capable of leaving open a portal into her era, her mind, her remarkable human spirit. Her unrehearsed honesty year after year reflects the values of her age moreso than nearly anything else I've read, and the beauty of her entries and thoughts reinforces the fact that our language today ...
