Alcott's Imaginary Heroes: The Little Women Legacy, (Paperback)

In the 150 years since the publication of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy have continued to speak to readers: sometimes comforting, sometimes challenging, always inspiring. In this anthology, fans across the world--writers, teachers, homemakers, religious scholars, stop-motion animators and ecologists--celebrate the March sisters' lives and loves and, like Jo, put their own beloved "imaginary heroes" in the context of the modern world.

For readers who played dress-up with Meg at the Moffatts' party--
who smirked a little when Amy got busted for the pickled limes--
who cried when Beth died--
who are still wondering how Jo didn't end up with Laurie--
this is for you.
