Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag

Instead of Instagram-ing her grand tour of Europe, Louisa May Alcott wrote this collection of short stories inspired by it. Whilst not directly about 'Little Women' (boo) the stories switch from fiction to personal accounts, including how she created the characters of some of our favourite boys and girls. The Alcott speciality of teaching through story still features with lessons peppered throughout on love, obedience and trust. Whether you're a fan of Little Women or not, there is a story in here that will resonate with you.

A charming collection of short stories by Louisa May Alcott, queen of morality, teaching and kindness.
