A beautiful deluxe gift edition of the beloved classic of girlhood with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon.
The four March girls live together, as different as sisters as can be. There is sensible, romantic Meg and sweet, sunshiny Beth. There is Jo who burns with the ambition to be a writer and there is Amy who wishes for a more beautiful nose. Simple, true, and keenly resonant with life, spirit and affection, Little Women is a beloved classic for the ages.
This hardback is part of VINTAGE COLLECTOR’S CLASSICS, a series of luxurious books especially crafted for collectors and fans of beautiful special editions. Sumptuous design meets the highest quality production. Discover timeless classics beautifully bound for every bookshelf.
Review
I try to get every girly girl to read this one because those four sisters are so real. Everybody's favourite is Jo, the tomboy who wants to be a writer―Jacqueline Wilson
Deals with life's big questions - love and death, war and peace, and ambition versus family responsibility - in a way that is inspiring and realistic. Use a hankie as a bookmark - tears are guaranteed―Marie Claire
Louisa May Alcott's Little Women is as much a part of every girl's childhood as her first pair of ballet shoes and the Brothers Grimm―Mail on Sunday
Six generations of readers have found in the story of the March family universal truths about girls, families and growing up―Guardian
So what makes these different to any other set of classics? In a moment of inspiration Random House had the bright idea of actually asking Key stage 2 children what extra ingredients they could add to make children want to read. And does it work? Well, put it this way...my 13-year-old daughter announced that she had to read a book over the summer holiday and, without any prompting, spotted The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas...and proceeded to read it! Now, if you knew my 13-year-old daughter, you would realise that this is quite remarkable. She reads texts, blogs and tags by the thousand - but this is the first book she has read since going to high school, so all hail Vintage Classics!―National Association for the Teaching of English
A wonderful story... As a child, I strongly identified with Jo because she is a writer―Jacqueline Wilson
