RESPECTED BY GROWN-UP PEOPLE
Jo March was a free spirit as a girl and knows better than most that too many rules are no good for children. This sequel to Little Women holds all the nostalgia of the March household as Jo and Professor Bhaer cultivate a school for the children of Plumfield that allows fifteen minute pillow fights on Saturdays and girls to participate in the school day. Dip into Louisa May Alcott's blurring between the domestic and academic tale, crafting an educational environment where children's dreams are respected by grown-up people.
Presented here is a 1923 reprint, charmingly bound and featuring a contemporary handwritten owner inscription to front free endpaper in beautiful script.
