1889. Louisa May Alcott is universally recognized as the greatest and most popular story teller for children in her generation. She has known the way to the hearts of young people, not only in her own class, or even country, but in every condition of life, and in many foreign lands. It is impossible to understand Miss Alcott's works fully without a knowledge of her own life and experiences. Miss Alcott speaks mainly for herself in this book through her journals and letters.
