Following Sterling's spectacularly successful launch of its children's classic novels (240,000 books in print to date),comes a dazzling new series: Classic Starts. The stories are abridged; the quality is complete. Classic Starts treats the world's beloved tales (and children) with the respect they deserve--all at an incomparable price.
Louisa May Alcott's classic novel, set during the Civil War, has always captivated even the most reluctant readers. Little girls, especially, love following the adventures of the four March sisters--Meg, Beth, Amy, and most of all, the tomboy Jo--as they experience the joys and disappointments, tragedies and triumphs, of growing up. This simpler version captures all the charm and warmth of the original.
Customer Reviews: You MUST read this book!February 20, 2006 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Little Woman is a book that everyone must read. I really love the characters and everything about it! My favorite character is Jo, who seems a lot like me because she loves books and isn't a really girlie girl. I also like Beth because she is so nice. I really recommend reading this book.

Great Book for GirlsNovember 29, 2005 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book was set in the civil war about four sisters and their mother. They also had a friend named Laurie. Their father was taking care of hurt and Ill soldiers. Then one day they were sent a telegram that said that their father was very ill, but he was cured and their father was luckily home in time for Christmas. One of the sisters, Beth, became ill also from helping a poor sick family.
This book is one of the best books I have ever read because it is filled with interesting things that happen! But my favorite part was when Laurie joined their busy bee society and when their mother leaves them by themselves for the entire day just to play a trick on them!
Good classicOctober 25, 2009 Kate(Tn.) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Most children have probably seen one version or another of this wonderful classic so this is a great way to read it. It is abbreviated and short enough to hold interest. When I was a child I wore out a copy ,of what would be called these days a graphic version ,with wonderful illustrations. I wish that the illustrations in this version were better drawn and more colorful.
