Little Men

Jo Bhaer and her husband, Professor Friedrich Bhaer, have opened their home as a school for boys at Plumfield, a sprawling country estate. Here, a lively mix of young scholars—from gentle musician Nat to wild, troubled Dan—learn lessons in kindness, responsibility, and the value of hard work. When a new arrival tests the family’s patience, and a dangerous adventure threatens to undo all they’ve built, Jo must summon the wisdom and heart that made her unforgettable. Faithfully retold in fresh, natural language, this edition preserves the spirit of Alcott’s original while making it accessible to today’s readers. Join the boys of Plumfield as they stumble, grow, and discover that a loving home can change everything. Part of Timeless Classics.
