This new hardback edition is one of five special Puffin Classic editions created in partnership with the world-famous V & A Museum, with exquisite cover designs from their William Morris collection.Meg is the eldest and on the brink of love. Then there's tomboy Jo who longs to be a writer. Sweet-natured Beth always puts others first, and finally there's Amy, the youngest and most precocious. Together they are the March sisters. Even though money is short, times are tough and their father is away at war, their infectious sense of fun sweeps everyone up in their adventures - including Laurie, the boy next door. And through sisterly squabbles, their happy times and sad ones too, the sisters discover that growing up is sometimes very hard to do.

Romantická Meg, nezkrotná Jo, nenápadná Beth a rozmazlená Amy. Čtyři sestry, které musejí čelit stesku po tatínkovi, chudobě či vážné nemoci, ale hlavně svým vlastním tužbám a malým nectnostem. Čtyři dívčí hrdinky, jež postupně dospívají, zakládají vlastní rodiny a poznávají velké lásky, velké smutky, všední strasti i nevšední krásy života. To jsou proslulé Malé ženy, které se již po generace zapisují do srdcí stále nových čtenářů nejen v Americe, kde si získaly status věčného bestselleru. Nový český překlad poprvé po více než sto letech představuje čtenářům Malé ženy v kompletní nezkrácené podobě včetně druhého dílu.

Ak ste si aj vy obľúbili Meg, Beth, Jo a Amy, štyri `malé ženy` z knižky s rovnomenným názvom, a ich priateľa Laurieho, v tomto jej pokračovaní môžete sledovavať ich ďalšie osudy - rodinný život Meg, ktorá sa vydáva ako prvá, literárne úspechy a pády Jo, meniaci sa duševný svet citlivej Beth, napĺňanie ambícií Amy a, samozrejme, ich lásky. Akú cestu budú musieť prejsť, kým sa z nich stanú `dobré manželky`?

Louisa May Alcott's enchanting Christmas stories, presented in a beautiful hardcover edition perfect for giving as a gift. A Merry Christmas collects the best holiday stories of Louisa May Alcott, from the yuletide festivities of Marmee and her 'little women' to the moving 'What Love Can Do'. Deeply influenced by real-life events, including characters based on Alcott's family members and drawing from her experiences participating in the suffrage and abolitionist movements, these stories have the authentic texture and detail of Christmas in nineteenth-century America. Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1832. Her family later moved to Concord, Massachusetts, where Alcott was influenced by their neighbours Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau. At a young age, Louisa took on some of the family's financial burdens, working as a domestic, a teacher, and a writer. In 1868 and 1869, fame and fortune came with the publication of Little Women. The author of many novels and an active campaigner for temperance and women's suffrage, Alcott died in 1888.
