Other editions of book Little Men

Some of the most beloved characters from Little Women return in Louisa May Alcott’s continuing story of Jo March and her houseful of orphan boys. Jo already has two boys of her own, so when she adds another dozen orphans to her school at the Plumfield Estate, her world quickly becomes a lot more chaotic. Teaching and caring for children is what makes Jo March happy, but boys will be boys, which means dealing with chaos and a number of humorous exploits. This heartfelt story has enchanted readers since it was first published in 1871. Little Men is the second book in the Little Women Trilogy and is arguably one of Louisa May Alcott’s best works. It was rumored that Alcott’s brother-in-law was her inspiration for Little Men, and the tragically beautiful ending of this story supports this theory. Those who liked Little Women will love the second installment in this trilogy.

A fascinating portrayal of life at an unconventional rural school where the children are encouraged to keep pets, have their own gardens, and run businesses, Little Men is Alcotts's sequel to her hugely successful Little Women. Just as enjoyable today as it was when first published well over a century ago, Little Men remains enormously popular.This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is beautifully illustrated with a number of delightful historical paintings and images that reflect the period in which the novel is set.

“I should have cause to be proud of this year's work;' and Mrs. Jo sat smiling over her book as she built castles in the air, just as she used to when she was a girl, only then they were for herself, and now they were for other people, which is the reason perhaps that some of them came to pass in reality for charity is an excellent foundation to build anything upon.” ― Louisa May Alcott, Little Men

Little Men follows the life of Jo Bhaer and the students who live and learn at the Plumfield School that she runs with her husband, Professor Bhaer. The mischievous children, whom she loves and cares for as her own, learn valuable lessons as they grow to adulthood. Each student has his or her own struggles: Nat lies; Demi, is so naïve that he finds it hard to live in the real world; Emil has a bad temper; Dan is rebellious and rude; Tommy is careless; Annie is too rambunctious; and Daisy is too prim. They all learn to cope with their faults as they grow into young men and women.
