Little Women: The Complete Novel, Featuring Letters and Ephemera from the Characters’ Correspondence, Written and Folded by Hand

Description

For anyone who loves Little Women , or still cherishes the joy of letter writing, this book illuminates a favourite story in a whole new way. Louisa May Alcott’s classic tale follows the March sisters as they come of age, and these unforgettable characters come alive in their letters and other writings. When Laurie invites Jo to join him for a picnic and ‘all sorts of larks’, the unbridled joy of their friendship shines through. Each of the girls’ personalities is perfectly encapsulated in the letters they pen to Marmee. And Jo’s heart-wrenching poem ‘My Beth’ speaks to the profound bond between two sisters. As you read this deluxe edition of the novel, you will find pockets throughout containing replicas of all 17 significant letters and paper ephemera from the story, re-created with beautiful calligraphy and painstaking attention to historical detail. Pull out each one, peruse its contents, and allow yourself to be transported to the parlour of the March family home. —- ISBN: 9781797208916
