Description
“Aunt Jo’s Patchwork Bag” is a collection of stories by Louisa May Alcott that she wrote for children, but which reveal their full depth only to adults, touching the most tender strings of the heart. This colorful compilation immerses the reader in a slightly sentimental atmosphere of family evenings, unhurried conversations by the fireplace, children’s mischief, and happy memories.
Although the stories in this collection have no direct plot connection to the writer’s most famous novel, it’s not only the title that points to the beloved heroine of “Little Women”—the restless, rebellious Jo March, whom Louisa Alcott wrote as herself. Created in the 1880s, “My Boys,” “My Girls,” “Three Thimbles of Sha wls,” and other works from “Aunt Jo’s Patchwork Bag” are steeped in the same tenderness and warmth of the home hearth—cozy like a plush blanket—and in nostalgia for the best time of life: childhood and youth. The time of tales and magic, when animals and toys can speak; the time of pranks and mistakes, wonders and discoveries, and the birth of first serious feelings—friendship, love, and mercy.
