Little Men / Louisa May Alcott / 496 pages Deceased Author Challenge

This beloved American classic offer so much practical advice it perhaps should be shelved with the Self Help Books.  Mrs. Jo and Fritz have founded a school for boys...and girls.  Mama and Papa Bear are imminently kind, patient, understanding, and knowledgeable and the children entrusted to their care thrive...even the somewhat incorrigible Dan.  The antics of the children amuse; the parenting is exemplary; and the inspiration is world class.  Of particular note is Mrs. Jo's Conscience Book, a most excellent idea.


The book was penned by an American author born before the Civil War.
