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.
