Little Women has remained enduringly popular since its publication in 1868, becoming the inspiration for a whole genre of family stories. Set in a small New England community, it tells of the March family: Marmee looks after daughters in the absence of her husband, who is serving as an army chaplain in the Civil War, and Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy experience domestic trials and triumphs as they attempt to supplement the family`s small income. In the second part of the novel (sometimes known as Good Wives) the girls grow up and fall in love.

The two American classics here together in one volume, "Little Men" and "Jo`s Boys", are worthy sequels to "Little Women", one of the best-loved children`s stories of all time, and its continuation, "Good Wives". In "Little Men", Louisa May Alcott takes up the story of the everyday dramas and exploits of the naughty but easy-going boys at Plumfield, now a boarding-school run by Professor Bhaer and his lovable madcap wife Jo, the most fiery and free-spirited of the four March sisters. "Jo`s Boys" revisits the one-time members of that `wilderness of boys` ten years later when they are making their ways in the world with varying degrees of triumph and disaster.
