Little Men brilliantly extends the March family saga begun in Louisa May Alcott's classic Little Women. Jo—now married to the good-natured Professor Bhaer and with sons of her own—has become the unflappable matron of an extended family at Plumfield, a school that the Bhaers have founded with Aunt March's legacy. Jo's rambunctious youngsters grow up in an atmosphere full of high spirits and misadventure—a world enlivened by Alcott's unique powers of observation and sympathy.
