About the author
Louisa May Alcott
4,063 books10.6k followersLouisa May Alcott was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet best known for writing the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Good Wives (1869), Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised in New England by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May Alcott and Amos Bronson Alcott, she grew up among many well-known intellectuals of the day, including Margaret Fuller, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Alcott's family suffered from financial difficulties, and while she worked to help support the family from an early age, she also sought an outlet in writing. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used pen names such as A.M. Barnard, under which she wrote lurid short stories and sensation novels for adults that focused on passion and revenge.
Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts, and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters, Abigail May Alcott Nieriker, Elizabeth Sewall Alcott, and Anna Bronson Alcott Pratt. The novel was well-received at the time and is still popular today among both children and adults. It has been adapted for stage plays, films, and television many times.
Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist and remained unmarried throughout her life. She also spent her life active in reform movements such as temperance and women's suffrage. She died from a stroke in Boston on March 6, 1888, just two days after her father's death.

Every one of these books was truly unique to themselves. Each charater having such intellect and such a bright understanding of the world around them. They were all very heart warming.
I recommend every one of these books.

Heidi was the first one I read. Then Little Women (which I still need to finish) and then Anne Of Green Gables, and now The Little Princess (which I also need to finish as well. #MULITASKING)
Review of HEIDI:
Heidi is an orphan girl who is brought to her grandfather by her Aunt DeeDee. Aunt DeeDee is not a good person. She took care of Heidi for a while and decided that she was tired of her and, like I mentioned, took her to Heidi's grandpa. When Heidi arrives, Heidi seems very excited. After a few days, her grandpa starts to cozy up to her, too. But then, Aunt DeeDee comes along again and takes Heidi to the city and has her stay with another young girl, Clara. The two young girls become good friends, but Heidi is still sad that she had to leave the Alps, where her grandfather lived. She becomes so sad that she become sick! She becomes very pale. One night, she went out of her room (other people where out) and the people thought she was a ghost! But, luckily for her, she returns to the Alps. Of course, there's more to the story, but that's all I'll tell. If you want more, you'll have to read it yourself!

Review of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES:
Anne, when we start the book, is an eleven-year-old girl who was an orphan and, when she first come to the Gables, imagines she is Lady Cordelia Fitzgerald and that her furniture is a beautiful mahogany (although she has NO idea how it looks but sounds so luxurious) and that the floor is covered with a white velvet carpet with pink roses all over it and that there are pink silk curtains draped over the windows. She images that the walls are hung with silver and gold brocade tapestry. She imagines that there is a couch heaped with silken coushins and so on and so on (if you haven't noticed, she imagines ALOT). Then, she makes friends with a girl named Diana and they do ALOT together. Anne and Diana both imagine together and name lots of things. Like, for instance, The Lake of Shining Waters, Lover's Lane, the Haunted Wood, (which the both get freaked out by. To bad. Because it's right infront of the Green Gables!) The White Way of Delight, and Dryad's Bubble. Then Gilbert comes along. Diana likes Gilbert. But I'm pretty sure Gilbert doesn't like Diana much. He likes Anne. To get Anne's attention, he does some crazy stuff. Including pulling Anne's bright orange braids and calling her "carrots" over and over again (boy, those days where weird). This makes Anne so angry (she hasn't really got any compliments) that she smashes her slate on Gilbert's head. This gets her into trouble. But Gilbert still likes her! Like Heidi, there's more to the story. But...
