Maisie Peters chooses 'Little Women' by Louisa May Alcott. First published in 1868.


More about this book:


"We do not care just now for volumes of collected stories…write us a new book consisting of a single story for girls'' 


Louisa May Alcott (1832 – 1888) later said she wrote Little Women to prove that she could not write a girl’s' book having always preferred to play with boys, and therefore knowing very little about any girls except her sisters and herself. She singularly failed however, as her books about the March sisters, Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth, starting with Little Women, have enchanted and inspired girls since 1868. Alcott herself said some years later: “I am more than half-persuaded that I am a man's soul, put by some freak of nature into a woman's body….because I have fallen in love in my life with so many pretty girls, and never once the least little bit with any man."
