The March sisters are among the most beloved characters in children's literature, and Little Men picks up the story of fiery, headstrong Jo where Good Wives left off. Intelligent, funny, perceptive and genuinely touching, the novel is set at a rather unusual boarding school run by Jo and her husband, where the pupils are encouraged to pillow fight and keep pets. When the penniless but talented orphan Nat Blake shows up on her doorstep, Jo takes him in, and his arrival sets in motion a chain of events that will affect all their lives.

      Jo and Professor Bhaer's school for orphaned boys is the setting for this story, which is little more than a series of tender, moralistic vignettes of little interest today. Herbert's reading, however, goes a long way to make up for the deficiencies in the story. As Marmee and the mother that Jo March later becomes, Herbert projects a maternal resonance, which resonates with subtlety and nuance. For fans of Miss Alcott, the novel makes for a rich feast.
