Collins Classics - Little Men: Life at Plumfield with Jo’s Boys (Collins Classics)

By Louisa May Alcott

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

“Help one another”, was a favourite Plumfield motto, and Nat learned how much sweetness is added to life by trying to live up to it.

Spirited Jo March, now Mrs Bhaer, has settled into living and teaching at Plumfield boarding school, also home to a lively band of orphan boys. Jo’s many pupils include Nat, a shy but talented musician, Dan, an ill-mannered troublemaker and Tommy Bangs, the school’s mischievous class clown. Despite the troubles and scrapes that come with adolescent life, the lessons of kindness and gratitude taught at Plumfield prove to have a profound impact on each child.

Published in 1871, Little Men was received with delight by the many who cherished the coming-of-age tale Little Women, and proved a worthy sequel. Wisdom, courage and love is at the heart of Louisa May Alcott’s writing, which continues to inspire and give solace to readers around the world today.
