The first volume, alternately titled Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, was published in 1868, and the second volume, Good Wives, was published in 1869.

For this is what writer Jo Bhaer, once Jo March of \u003ci\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/i\u003e, always wanted: a house \"swarming with boys...in all stages of...effervescence.\" At the end of \u003ci\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/i\u003e, Jo inherited the Plumfield estate from her diamond-in-the-rough Aunt March. Now she and her husband, Professor Bhaer, provide their irrepressible charges with a very different sort of education--and much love. In fact, Jo confesses, she hardly knows \"which I like best, writing or boys.\" Here is the story of the ragged orphan Nat, spoiled Stuffy, wild Dan, and all the other lively inhabitants of Plumfield, whose adventures have captivated generations of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50108612444383,"sku":"9780451532237","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/XvUT8v03Xe9780451532237.webp?v=1781226545"},{"product_id":"little-women-hardcover-4","title":"Little Women - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eLouisa May Alcott\u003c\/b\u003e (Author), \u003cb\u003eAnna South\u003c\/b\u003e (Introduction by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigned to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles.
