So when her publisher Thomas Niles asked her to write a novel for girls, she did so reluctantly, and yet, in just ten weeks, Alcott wrote what was to become one of the best-known novels of all time. This semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story follows four sisters growing up in rural 19th-century New England, and the independent and outspoken main character is based on the author herself.An instant bestseller on publication in 1868, Alcott went on to write a sequel the following year, published under the title Good Wives, which is also included in our edition. The two parts were published as a single novel in 1880; the story has never lost its appeal, and, 150 years later, the feminist leanings of the female-led narrative still resonate. This hugely popular Folio edition celebrates the novel’s classic status with a stunning gold-blocked binding and exquisite printed endpapers. Nine captivating illustrations by American artist Rebecca Green, and a specially commissioned introduction by celebrated author Jane Gardam, acknowledge the novel’s enduring themes of human relationships and female empowerment.
