Louisa May Alcott’s deceptively simple writing style made her works instantly popular, and so they have remained. 'Little Women' was her finest work, and was loved for its touching portrayal of American family life. Alcott’s literary success arrived with the publication of the first part of Little Women although a story about a family called March, it is regarded as a semi-autobiographical account of Alcott’s own childhood with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts.
Good Wives, the sequal to Little Women followed the March sisters into adulthood and their respective marriages. Little Men detailed Jo’s life at the Plumfield School that she founded with her husband Professor Bhaer at the conclusion of Good Wives. Jo’s Boys, published in 1886, completed the “March Family Saga”.
