WORDSWORTH CLASSICS : Little Men & Jo's Boys

The two American classics here together in one volume, Little Men and Jos Boys, are worthy sequels to Little Women, one of the best-loved childrens stories of all time, and its continuation, Good Wives. In Little Men, Louisa May Alcott takes up the story of the everyday dramas and exploits of the naughty but easy-going boys at Plumfield, now a boarding-school run by Professor Bhaer and his lovable madcap wife Jo, the most fiery and free-spirited of the four March sisters. Jos Boys revisits the one-time members of that wilderness of boys ten years later when they are making their ways in the world with varying degrees of triumph and disaster.
