Description
Product Description
Louisa May Alcott's classic tale of four sisters in
a deluxe hardcover edition, with beautiful cover
illustrations by Anna Bond, the artist behind
world-renowned stationery brand Rifle Paper
Co.

Grown-up Meg, tomboyish Jo, timid Beth, and


precocious Amy. The four March sisters couldn't be
more different. But with their father away at war,
and their mother working to support the family,
they have to rely on one another. Whether they're
putting on a play, forming a secret society, or
celebrating Christmas, there's one thing they can't
help wondering: Will Father return home safely?

Review
"The American female myth."
—Madelon Bedell

About the Author


About the cover artist:
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.

"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.

I absolutely love the artwork that has been done
on the cover. The book is pretty thick which i
wasn’t expecting, but makes sense. Well
published and haven’t seen mistakes yet.

Puffin In Bloom
Reviewed in India on August 7, 2017

It is one of the most beautiful books I own. Anna


Bond's illustrations are amazing. The classic does
not need to be reviewed. It is an unabridged
version of the classic. The book had beautiful
endpapers and the binding is flexible.

Belíssimo
Reviewed in Brazil on August 6, 2020

É uma edição bem grossa e pequena, posso até


chamar de fofa. Não li ainda, não faço ideia do que
se esperar (por ser uma história antiga) e o que eu
sei é apenas a sinopse. Espero que valha a pena. Se
não, continua sendo uma edição bonita.

Arrived Damaged
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2020

Beautiful edition but it arrived in poor condition.


Considering that editions such as these are more
than likely bought for collecting, very little care is
taken when they are shipped out. Lost track of the
amount of books like these I’ve had to complain to
Amazon about!
