It tells the story of sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March &mdash; each a young woman with a distinctive and relatable personality, a rare feature for a children&rsquo;s novel at the time. The novel continues to resonate with readers as a timeless tale of growing up.&nbsp;This is the first modern edition of <em>Little Women<\/em> to feature the complete illustrations of Clara Miller Burd, originally executed in 1926. Burd&rsquo;s brilliant colour plates and detailed drawings bring the world of the March family to life. An introduction by Alice A. Carter, an expert on Golden Age illustration, explores Burd&rsquo;s life and the work of early 20th-century women illustrators. This new edition, handsomely bound in cloth, will be the perfect gift for all devotees of <em>Little Women<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new edition of Louisa May Alcott&rsquo;s Little Women, with illustrations by Clara M.
