| Dust jacket 1965 |
This revelation sent me off in search of my much-loved copy of this book, a Christmas present I received when I was eleven years old.
My edition was published in 1965, by Bancroft & Co. (Publishers) London, and except for the foxing around the edges of the pages is still in very good condition.
At some point in the last fifty years, the book and its dust jacket parted company, but I did find an image of it on the internet. Seeing it again brought back some wonderful memories and some sad ones of my last ever Christmas spent in England.
I've read all the sequels: Good Wives, Little Men and Jo's Boys, but Little Women will always be my favourite book about the March family.
Do you own a copy of Little Women? Have you read it and any of the sequels? Which is your favourite?

Great post! I've read all of the Little Women books, but Little Women and Good Wives are my favourites. My old hardback copy has lost its dust jacket too, but it's still special to me because it belonged to my grandmother.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have a book that once belonged to your grandmother!
DeleteYes, Little Women is my favourite too. http://www.exurbanis.com/archives/7260#little
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to your review. I agree that compared to other 19th century novels Little Women is an easier read, as are the sequels. I've yet to read any of her other novels, but hope to get to them one day.
