Jo's Boys

After the resounding success of "Little Women," Alcott couldn’t help continuing her story about the March family, unraveling the fates of beloved characters like a skein of multicolored thread. Soon came "Young Wives," and then "Little Men." Finally, in 1886, Alcott finished the last novel of the tetralogy, in which the former “little men”—the students of the Plumfield boarding house that she opened together with her husband, Mrs. Jo March—become students, fall in love, get into trouble, and, after countless dangerous adventures, difficulties, and temptations, set out on their own free voyage across the great ocean of adult life.

This edition offers a new translation of the novel, reflecting all the features and distinctiveness of the original text.
