Unique Elements About the Author Commentaries Biographical Article A CHARMING Storybook for children by LOUISA MAY ALCOTT. LULU'S LIBRARY, VOLUME 3 by AMERICAN author LOUISA MAY ALCOTT is a book of short stories for children first published in 1889 in the UNITED STATES. The third volume, published in 1889, posthumously, features nine stories, including "Recollections Of My Childhood," "A Christmas Turkey, And How It Came," and "The Little Red Purse." Sneak Peak 'One of my earliest memories is of playing with books in my father's study,-building towers and bridges of the big dictionaries, looking at pictures, pretending to read, and scribbling on blank pages whenever pen or pencil could be found. Many of these first attempts at authorship still exist; and I often wonder if these childish plays did not influence my after-life, since books have been my greatest comfort, castle-building a never-failing delight, and scribbling a very profitable amusement.'

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Louisa May Alcott, born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, grew up in a family deeply engaged in social reform and education. Her father, Bronson Alcott, was a transcendentalist and educator, influencing Louisa's ideals despite the family's financial struggles. Surrounded by notable thinkers like Emerson and Thoreau, she developed a passion for writing early in life.Alcott worked various jobs to support her family, but her time as a Civil War nurse profoundly impacted her. This experience inspired Hospital Sketches, bringing her public attention and fueling her literary career. Her greatest success came with Little Women (1868), a semi-autobiographical novel that captured the lives of the March sisters.Despite health challenges later in life, Alcott continued to write and advocate for social causes, including women's suffrage and abolition. She never married, choosing instead a life focused on family and literature. Louisa May Alcott passed away on March 6, 1888, leaving a legacy as one of America's most beloved authors.
