For anyone who loves Little Women, or still cherishes the joy of letter writing, this book illuminates a favourite story in a whole new way. Louisa May Alcott's classic tale follows the March sisters as they come of age, and these unforgettable characters come alive in their letters and other writings. When Laurie invites Jo to join him for a picnic and 'all sorts of larks', the unbridled joy of their friendship shines through. Each of the girls' personalities is perfectly encapsulated in the letters they pen to Marmee. And Jo's heart-wrenching poem 'My Beth' speaks to the profound bond between two sisters. As you read this deluxe edition of the novel, you will find pockets throughout containing replicas of all 17 significant letters and paper ephemera from the story, re-created with beautiful calligraphy and painstaking attention to historical detail. Pull out each one, peruse its contents, and allow yourself to be transported to the parlour of the March family home.

Reviews for Little Women: The Complete Novel, Featuring the Characters’ Letters and Manuscripts, Written and Folded by Hand

Heller.hits all the right targets-vintage, literary, nostalgic-with this series and stays classy. -Fine Books Collections Readers raised in the age of email and texting will be charmed by the novelty of the (extremely low-tech) interactive experience -The New York Times The handwriting matches each character to perfection, and the paper of each missive varies. I can't recommend this book enough to fans of Louisa May Alcott's famous novel-you won't see the characters in the same way after this! You may think you have enough copies of Little Women.. Your collection, however, is not complete without Barbara Heller's unique and lovingly curated edition. -BookTrib These are as close as you're going to get to actual letters from Marmee and Meg and the others. -Star Tribune
