Collects the beloved holiday stories of Louisa May Alcott, from the dearly familiar yuletide benevolence of Marmee and her 'little women,' to the recently discovered tales of 'The Quiet Little Woman' and 'Kate's Choice,' to the timeless 'What Love Can Do,' wherein the residents of a boarding house join together to make a lovely Christmas for two poor girls. Wildly popular at the time of their publication, so much so that readers deluged Alcott with letters demanding sequels, these stories have transcend the boundaries of time and age.Author BiographyLouisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1832. Her family later moved to Concord, Massachusetts, where Alcott was influenced by their neighbours Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau. At a young age, Louisa took on some of the family's financial burdens, working as a domestic, a teacher, and a writer. In 1868 and 1869, fame and fortune came with the publication of Little Women. The author of many novels and an active campaigner for temperance and women's suffrage, Alcott died in 1888.
