When Little Women was first published in 1868, it became an instant bestseller. The book's gentle lessons and charming story of four adventurous sisters coming of age in Civil War-era New England was originally written as a children's book, but it quickly captured the hearts and attention of readers of all ages. Featuring colorful sprayed edges and a heat-burnished cover with foil stamping, this edition of Little Women is a stylish addition to your bookshelf.
