About the author

Ladybird books are known and loved the world over. For millions of people, they bring back the golden days of childhood - learning to read, discovering the magic of books, and growing up.

The very first Ladybird book ever was produced by a jobbing printer called Wills & Hepworth during the First World War. The company, based in Loughborough, Leicestershire, began to publish 'pure and healthy literature' for children, registering the Ladybird logo in 1915. Despite the company's claims, however, those books would no longer be politically correct. In the ABC Picture Book, for example, A stood for armoured train!

Reviews

Obviously, I can't think to categorize this book in the shelf of 'mature reads', mostly because it is a retelling of Alcott's original novel. I feel, though, that after reading long, dreadful books, sometimes your brain needs to relax.
This book was gifted to me by my grandmother, and it stayed on my shelf for the longest time, until now. One day, hopefully, I will read the real book as well.

me re gusta la historia pero la adaptación es medio meh, me faltó desarrollo de los personajes y la verdad que no pude conectar
(igual entiendo que es una adaptación "suitable for younger readers")

Honestly felt really infantile and was in a rush to finish this. Thanks - school Christmas read!

"Keşke kalbim olmasaydı, o çok acıyor"
Küçük kadınlar, öyle bir kitap ki okurken kafanızda kolayca canlandırabildiğiniz gibi akıcı bir anlatıma sahip olduğu için sizi hemen içine çekiyor.
Babalarını Amerika daki iç savaşa göndermek zorunda kalan Bayan March ve dört kızının yoksul yaşamı ve kadınların ayaklarının üstünde zor durduğu bir dönemde yaşadıklarını okuyoruz.
Dayanışma, dostluk, sevgi gibi evrensel değerlerin çevresinde şekillenen bu kitabımız Louisa May’in ölümsüz bir kitabıdır.
Her zaman ne durumda olursak olalım yine de şükredecek şeylerimiz olduğunu fark ettiren her yaşa hitap eden ve herkese bir şeyler katabilecek gerçekten güzel bir kitap.
