Louisa May Olcott - American writer, author of the famous story "Little Women", which brought her worldwide fame and still remains one of the most significant works of American literature. As one of the author's contemporaries wrote, the work of the writer touches the heart of "young people of any age - from six to sixty."
This edition includes three charming stories Olcott, not inferior to "Little Women" in the charm of the main characters, nor in the wit of the author's style. The heroine of the story "Old-Fashioned Girl", fourteen-year-old Polly, comes to visit her friend in a luxurious house full of fashionable gentlemen and smartly dressed ladies. However, Polly's "old-fashionedness", her kindness and good judgment turn out to be much more important than "fashionable skills and manners". Two stories about Rose ("Rose and Her Brothers" and "Rose in Bloom") tell the touching story of a girl who lost her parents and is forced to live with her distant relatives. From the first part, the reader learns what amazing adventures and hilarious pranks will allow Rosa to accept and love her new family. In Part Two, Rosa transforms into a beautiful young woman and finds herself the center of intense scrutiny from her many admirers.
The texts are accompanied by illustrations by American artists Clara Miller Burd and Harriet Roosevelt Richards.
