In fact, Alcott drew from her own personality to create a heroine unlike any seen before: Jo, willful, headstrong, and undoubtedly the backbone of the March family. Follow the sisters from innocent adolescence to sage adulthood, with all the joy and sorrow of life in between, and fall in love with them and this endearing story. Praised by Madeleine Stern as \"a book on the American home, and hence universal in its appeal,\" \u003ci\u003eLittle Women \u003c\/i\u003ehas been an avidly read tale for generations. This Modern Library edition includes notes that offer more description and insight than those of previous editions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eIncludes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouisa May Alcott\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1832 in Pennsylvania and grew up in Concord, Massachusetts.
