Little Women (Revised)
Little Women (Revised) | Louisa May Alcott
4 posts | 5 read
Following Sterling's spectacularly successful launch of its children's classic novels (240,000 books in print to date), comes a dazzling new series: Classic Starts. The stories are abridged; the quality is complete. Classic Starts treats the world's beloved tales (and children) with the respect they deserve--all at an incomparable price. Louisa May Alcott's classic novel, set during the Civil War, has always captivated even the most reluctant readers. Little girls, especially, love following the adventures of the four March sisters--Meg, Beth, Amy, and most of all, the tomboy Jo--as they experience the joys and disappointments, tragedies and triumphs, of growing up. This simpler version captures all the charm and warmth of the original.

#hashtagbrigade our June and July book is Little Women! We will be reading a chapter a day. Be sure and let me know if you‘ll be joining me. I will tag everyone in the master list. I have two copies. The one on the left is massive, my great grandmother gave it to my sister who gave it to me. It‘s about 40 years old! Remember that I post daily and my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers! Read the chapter before the post!

BarkingMadRead @Amor4Libros welcome! I forgot to mention in my post that I post daily and my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers so don‘t read my post until you‘ve read the chapter!! 7mo
mcctrish I‘m in, I need to find my copy ❤️❤️ 7mo
Amor4Libros @BarkingMadRead Thanks for the heads-up! Excited to join. I‘m due for a reread, it will be my 3rd! 😊 7mo
Bookwormjillk I‘m in. Miss your daily posts. Are we doing both parts- Little Women and Good Wives? I have a copy of this from my younger years but I think I‘m too old now to read the print. Kindle it is for me 🤣 7mo
IndoorDame One of my all time favorites! Looking forward to this reread, it‘s been a few years. ❤️❤️❤️ 7mo
peanutnine I'm in! This will be my first time reading and I'm excited 7mo
CatLass007 I think I‘m going to skip this one. Please keep me on your tag list, though, because I enjoy your spoilery hashtags. 7mo
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I missed it too!! I will have to check my copy, I don‘t think it comes with Good Wives, but I could be wrong! 7mo
julieclair I‘m in! It will be fun to read this as an adult. I loved it as a child. 7mo
kspenmoll Please add me to the list; always up for a reread of this book! 7mo
currentlyreadinginCO Going to skip this one! Hope you guys enjoy 💕 7mo
Cuilin I‘m in too. My sister bought me an old cloth bound edition. It was the last birthday gift she gave me before she passed away and I haven‘t read it yet. 🤞I‘ll make it through. 7mo
Daisey I‘m skipping this one and don‘t need to be tagged as I‘ve read it several times and have a pretty busy summer ahead. Yet, I‘ll check the tag to follow along as I can. 7mo
BarkingMadRead 😍😍😍 7mo
Ruthiella You have a typo, but please keep it. “I loathe daily…” ME TOO! 😈😂 7mo
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella omg autocorrect did me dirty 🤣🤣 7mo
rubyslippersreads Please tag me. I don‘t think I‘ll reread, because I‘ve read it so many times, but I ❤️ your posts. 😁 7mo
BarkingMadRead 😍😍😍 7mo
eeclayton I'll sit this one out, but I wish happy reading to you all ☺️ 7mo
willaful I have that same edition! Probably not as old as yours. I'm not sure I'll reread but I definitely want to be in on the commentary. 😇 7mo
TheAromaofBooks I'm definitely along for the ride!! Like @Bookwormjillk I wasn't sure if we were reading both parts or not. Most US editions include both volumes as one. 7mo
dabbe #countmein It's been a while for this one. 💙💚💙 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly Oh my gosh! I‘m excited! I also have the edition on the left—I hope I can find it (it is probably in a box at my mom‘s house). Edit: On closer look I think mine is a different version with the same cover art—I remember it being burgundy, not white. (edited) 7mo
daena Please add me for this one as well. 7mo
quietjenn Yes, please. 7mo
BarkingMadRead 😍😍😍 7mo
StayCurious Tag me please! 7mo
BarkingMadRead 😍😍😍 7mo
curiouserandcurioser @BarkingMadRead could i please be added for this? Love this:) 7mo
SpellboundReader @Barkingmadread, could you please tag me, too? Thanks so much for hosting this one. 🙂
Maybe someone already answered this, but Good Wives was originally published as the second part of Little Women. In the US, most current versions of Little Women contain Part One (23 chapters) and Part Two (24 chapters) within one book. (Edited - Oh, I just saw someone did answer this already. 👍)

This took me almost a month and a half to read, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I was never bored of it and I loved all the characters, the sisters were especially adorable. It wasn‘t my favorite classic, yet it was still a very good read. It‘s a wonderful coming-of-age novel that I believe most young people should read. The morals and themes were well-written and the lessons were great reminders of how to live, love, and act.
