Under The Lilacs – Louisa May Alcott
Miss Alcott has won a wide circle of readers with ‘Little Women’ and other famous books. The hero of this story is a circus boy, who escapes from his oppressors and finds a shelter in a manor-house.

A Modern Mephistopheles
A Modern Mephistopheles – Louisa May Alcott
“A Modern Mephistopheles” was one of the best novels in that remarkable collection of American fiction known as the ‘No Name’ series. Miss Alcott’s name has long been associated with it, because she never made any special effort to conceal the authorship. It is in many respects her most noteworthy effort, and by it her qualities as a writer may safely be judged. The novel is distinctly poetical in motive and the imaginative power displayed in the working out of the plot is to be classed with that of the creative artists of literature. Three souls-nay, four-are here unveiled to us, and while all are brought into bold relief, the true strength of … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Shawl-Straps (Aunt Jo’s Scrap-Bag Vol. 2)
Shawl-Straps (Aunt Jo’s Scrap-Bag Vol. 2) – Louisa May Alcott
The title of this second volume in the ‘Aunt Jo’s Scrap-Bag’ series is imposed upon a record of the author’s journeyings in Europe, which might as appropriately have been called ” Lunch Box,” or ” Sherry Flask,” so far as the uninformed reader is concerned. In due time, however, he is apprised that the title “Shawl Straps” is supposed to indicate that the travelers – for there were three of them – abandoned their baggage train and made their campaign with personal equipage as meagre as that of Gen.
