Beschreibung

Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888) was an American novelist best known as author of the Little Women series of novels. This single volume contains six of her most popular novels, complete and unabridged: An Old-fashioned Girl: Polly, the old-fashioned girl, becomes friends with her wealthy Boston cousins and learns about love, happiness and riches. Work: A Story of Experience: Christie throws herself into the working world aged 21 and this is her story, ending up as an intelligent and wise woman in her 40s. The book is a wonderful tale of her trials and tribulations along the way. Eight Cousins: Rose is orphaned girl and sent to be raised by her Uncle Alec and the extended family of Uncles and Aunts and seven male cousins. Alec raises her in his own unorthodox way and Rose flourishes - going from being sad and meek to educated and confident. Rose in Bloom (sequel to Eight Cousins): Rose Campbell returns home after her travels to find she is expected to marry. She is surrounded by admirers but is it the money they admire most? Under the Lilacs: Ben has run away from the circus where he was mistreated and Bab and Betty find him and his dog living in the carriage house. Their mother takes him in and gives him a job. Together the children learn lessons about life and faith. Jack and Jill: Jill and jack have a nasty accident while sledging and suffer a yearlong convalescence. They are close friends despite vastly different social circumstances, and they learn patience and kindness along the way.
