Publisher Description
"It takes a long time to grow a soul, but it's a fascinating process."
Jo March has found her true calling. Alongside her husband, Professor Bhaer, she has opened the doors of Plumfield, an estate turned school where "naughty" boys are given the freedom to grow, learn, and find their better selves. Moving away from the rigid discipline of the Victorian era, Plumfield is a place of pillow fights, gardening, and deep moral lessons, where every child—from the street-smart orphan Nat to the rebellious "wild boy" Dan—is treated with the love and respect they deserve.
A New Generation of the March Family: While Jo remains the beating heart of the story, Little Men introduces a delightful new cast. Watch as Meg's twins, the studious Demi and the domestic Daisy, navigate their childhoods alongside a ragtag group of students. The novel captures the humor and heartache of growing up, proving that the lessons learned on the playground are often as important as those learned from books.
The Philosophy of Kindness: Alcott draws on her own transcendentalist upbringing to create a story that championed progressive education long before it was mainstream. Little Men is a celebration of character-building, gender equality, and the redemptive power of a second chance. It remains a comforting, essential read for anyone who believes that every child has a "gold mine" of potential waiting to be discovered.
