About the Author
Based in Winter Park, Florida, Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co., a worldwide stationery and gift brand, is an artist best known for her whimsical designs which often include hand-painted illustrations and lettering. She has created unique, illustrated covers for the Puffin in Bloom book collection, which includes such classics as L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables, Heidi by Johanna Spyri, and A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
About the author:
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) grew up in Concord, Massachusetts, and began her writing career at an early age, with short stories for newspapers and magazines. What began as a series of stories in the 1860s became the classic American children's novel we know today as Little Women.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents,"grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.
"It's so dreadful to be poor!"sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.
"I don't think it's fair for some girls to have lots of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all," added little Amy, with an injured sniff.
"We've got father and mother, and each other, anyhow,"said Beth, contentedly, from her corner.
The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly?
"We haven't got father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never,"but each silently added it, thinking of father far away, where the fighting was.
Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said in an altered tone, "You know the reason mother proposed not having any presents this Christmas, was because it's going to be a hard winter for every one; and she thinks we ought not to spend money for pleasure, when our men are suffering so in the army. We can't do much, but we can make our little sacrifices, and ought to do it gladly. But I am afraid I don't;"and Megshook her head, as she thought regretfully of all the pretty things she wanted.
"But I don't think the little we should spend would do any good. We've each got a dollar, and the army wouldn't be much helped by our giving that. I agree not to expect anything from mother or you, but I do want to buy Undine and Sintram for myself; I've wanted it so long,'said Jo, who was a bookworm.
"I planned to spend mine in new music,"said Beth, with a little sigh, which no one heard but the hearth-brush and kettle-holder.
"I shall get a nice box of Faber's drawing pencils; I really need them," said Amy, decidedly.
"Mother didn't say anything about our money, and she won't wish us to give up everything. Let's each buy what we want, and have a little fun; I'm sure we grub hard enough to earn it,"cried Jo, examining the heels of her
boots in a gentlemanly manner.
"I know I do, teaching those dreadful children nearly all day, when I'm longing to enjoy myself at home," began Meg, in the complaining tone again.
"You don't have half such a hard time as I do," said Jo. "How would you like to be shut up for hours with a nervous, fussy old lady, who keeps you trotting, is never satisfied, and worries you till you''e ready to fly out of the window or box her ears?"
"It's naughty to fret, but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the world. It makes me cross; and my hands get so stiff, I can't practise good a bit." And Beth looked at her rough hands with a sigh that any one could hear that time.
"I don't believe any of you suffer as I do," cried Amy; "for you don't have to go to school with impertinent girls, who plague you if you don't know your lessons, and laugh at your dresses, and label your father if he isn't rich, and insult you when your nose isn't nice."
"If you mean libel I'd say so, and not talk about labels, as if pa was a pickle-bottle," advised Jo, laughing.

Honest Review of Little Women Rifle Paper Co collab

About the author

Louisa May Alcott was both an abolitionist and a feminist. She is best known for Little Women (1868), a semi-autobiographical account of her childhood years with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. Alcott, unlike Jo, never married: "... because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man." She was an advocate of women's suffrage and was the first woman to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2024I love these puffin books. They’re really cute. I love the artist detail on them. I think the prices are really good for these books and they look really really cute on the bookshelf.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2024First of all I’ve always loved this book ever since I was a little girl. My grandma used to read it to me at bedtime when I was younger and after she passed away I decided to get this very pretty copy of it because it reminded me of my grandmother. I think everyone should read this at least once I think it is a great coming of age story. And it touches on a variety of issues.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2024I read this book as a child, but bought it again for my daughter to read so I read it again. It is still a beautiful story! Fantastic book! Everyone should read!

- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2024Not only is this a classic novel, but the quality of this hardbound book is impeccable. Definitely a good addition to a permanent collection.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2023I officially have a new favorite classic! This book was so sweet. I absolutely love the relationship between the four sisters and their relationship with their mother. I love how Meg follows her heart over her head. I love how Jo was determined and cared more than she ever let on. I loved how sweet Beth was and how she was so strong in her faith. I loved how Amy was constantly trying to work on being selfless even though she has a taste for the finer things in life. I really enjoyed how Laurie became the brother that they never had. I really would have liked to see him end up with a different sister but I’m not unhappy with the way things ended. This book is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time and will make you feel every emotion. I highly recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024What's wrong...? I just recieved it a few minutes ago...I was excited until I saw the book. Looked like molds. How could things like this happen?
Updated: I got the replacement. The second one looks good without any dots.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incrível! <3
Livro incrível. Parece um tijolo, da pra atirar em alguém chato, é lindo e o mais importante: a história é absurdamente memorável.
É um clássico que merece um lugar especial na prateleira. A historia é cativante, e certamente você irá se envolver com as personagens, seus problemas, sonhos, relações e ambições. O relacionamento da mãe com as filhas, e com Deus, é linda, reflexiva e emocionante.
No início, no meio e no final há milhares de emoções e lições. O livro traz abordagens extremamente importantes, fazendo o leitor refletir sobre a vida e a importância em que depositamos em coisas supérfluas, esquecendo de agradecer pelas pequenas coisas e pela dádiva de estar vivo, com saúde, família e amigos.
O inglês é fácil de entender. A história é cotidiana, então se torna mais simples a leitura.
Vale MUITO a pena! <3

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is amazing
the story itself is beautiful but I’m sure most of you will know about that so I’ll tell you about the hard cover itself . The quality is amazing, it has large font which is perfect for those of us who weren’t gifted with 20/20 vision , also the design doesn’t scratch or smudge at all over time
