This adaptation of the first half of the classic story (Good Wives is not included) preserves the flavor of the novel by following the plot closely and retaining much of Alcott's original prose. Informative sidebars offer information about the Alcotts and customs of the time, and a few double-page spreads featuring captioned photos provide background material.
