The Annotated Little Women (The Annotated Books)
The Annotated Little Women (The Annotated Books) | Louisa May Alcott
16 posts | 20 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
The Pulitzer Prizewinning biographer of Louisa May Alcott illuminates the world of Little Women and its author. Since its publication in 186869, Little Women, perhaps Americas most beloved childrens classic, has been handed down from mother to daughter for generations. It has been translated into more than fifty languages and inspired six films, four television shows, a Broadway musical, an opera, and a web series. This lavish, four-color edition features over 220 curated illustrations, including stills from the films, stunning art by Norman Rockwell, and iconic illustrations by childrens-book illustrators Alice Barber Stevens, Frank T. Merrill, and Jessie Wilcox Smith. Renowned Alcott scholar John Matteson brings his expertise to the book, to the March family it creates, and to the Alcott family who inspired it all. Through numerous photographs taken in the Alcott family home expressly for this editionelder daughter Annas wedding dress, the Alcott sisters theater costumes, sister Mays art, and Abba Alcotts recipe bookreaders discover the extraordinary links between the real and the fictional family. Mattesons annotations evoke the once-used objects and culture of a distant but still-relevant time, from the horse-drawn carriages to the art Alcott carefully placed in her story to references to persons little known today. His brilliant introductory essays examine Little Womens pivotal place in childrens literature and tell the story of Alcott herselfa tale every bit as captivating as her fiction.

One of my favorite books/movies of all time! My friend got this for me for my bday and I have yet to read this edition! The cover is seriously so pretty, but I might have to remove it before reading because the book is so big 😂

Jess7 It was really nice to me you and @Pamwurtzler today! 🤗 6y
kitty_reads You too!! We‘ll have to do it again! 😊 @Jess7 6y

mrsmarch @mhillis Awww thanks! 6y
Amanda.T I use a bullet journal just for reading too. It‘s pretty basic because I‘m terrible at drawing! (edited) 6y
readinginthedark Ooh nice! I‘ve been keeping one, but it‘s not as detailed in smaller pieces as yours. 6y
mrsmarch @readinginthedark I find I benefit when I have a tangible record of my progress. So for example, the Serial issues. 6y

Are you listening to the new Book Riot podcast Annotated? It is fascinating-give it a listen!

Jinjer Ehm...no, but now I have to choose between that and my next audio chapter of Harry Potter when I wash dishes later. 😂 7y

I've posted about this book before, but had to take it back to the library without having made much progress. I'm trying again and hope to finish this 600-page monster by the end of the year. Today it is 65 degrees, but tomorrow the HIGH is supposed to be 35 so I'm getting my outdoor reading in while I still can!

😍😍😍😍I've had this on my TBR for awhile, but the last time I looked the library didn't have it. A Goodreads group I'm in is doing Little Women for the group read in November. So I went looking at the library for a regular copy of Little Women and lo and behold, there was this beaut!!! 😍😍😍 (Yes, I did take this picture in the library parking lot--I was too excited to wait ok?)
