love this book! i had the Hans Christian Andersen story of little mermaid read to me as a child but when i came to USA i just couldnt find it anymore. Disney just distorted the story too much. when i found this book through Usborne Books (UK publisher) i was in heaven. yes, its a sad ending and yes its not all peachy-they-lived-happily-ever-after, but its a fairy tale world, where mermaids live and talk, and witches make spells and potions, and people dont often figure well into those stories.

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.
