Aunt Jo's Scrap Bag is a wonderful collection of short stories by Louisa May Alcott, the author of such classics as Little Women, An Old-Fashioned Girl, Little Men, and Hospital Sketches. These are stories that were written with the intent to both entertain the whole family and to fill young minds with wonder and delight.

When Rose Campbell, a shy orphan, arrives at "The Aunt Hill" to live with her six aunts and seven boisterous male cousins, she is quite overwhelmed. How could such a delicate young lady, used to the quiet hallways of a girls' boarding school, exist in such a spirited home? It is the arrival of Uncle Alec that changes everything. Much to the horror of her aunts, Rose's forward-thinking uncle insists that the child get out of the parlor and into the sunshine. And with a little courage and lots of adventures with her mischievous but loving cousins, Rose begins to bloom. Written by the beloved author of Little Women, Eight Cousins is a masterpiece of children's literature. This endearing novel offers readers of all ages an inspiring story about growing up, making friends, and facing life with strength and kindness. Includes vintage illustration!

Although it is Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel Little Women that is the source of most of her continued literary acclaim, Alcott was a prolific and versatile writer who produced works in virtually every genre over the course of her long career. This collection of short stories will delight confirmed fans and those just beginning to dip into Alcott's body of work.

Two quite short books. The first features a 12-year-old girl called Marjorie who daydreams about wealth, happiness and a handsome prince, then finds herself meeting some unusual people (real or imaginary) who help her appreciate her circumstances better. Evidently a moral tale about being grateful and working hard, but nicely done. The same is true of the second book, 'Roses', which features the orphan Lizzie who struggles to survive, who meets the spoilt and wealthy Belle both in childhood and as they embark on adulthood. Contrasts are made without too much author explanation, and again the focus is on hard work and being thankful.

"We can do nothing about it except show our displeasure in some proper manner," said Portia, in her most dignified tone. "I should like to cut them all dead for a year to come; and I'm not sure that I won't!" cried Pauline, fiercely. "We ought to make it impossible for such a thing to happen again, and I think we might," added Priscilla, so decidedly that the others looked at her in surprise. The three friends sat by the fire "talking things over," as girls love to do. Pretty creatures, all of them, as they nestled together on the lounge in dressing-gowns and slippers, with unbound hair, eyes still bright with excitement, and tongues that still wagged briskly.

A Garland for Girls is a classic collection of children's stories for girls by the great American author, Louisa May Alcott. According to Alcott, "These stories were written for my own amusement during a period of enforced seclusion. The flowers which were my solace and pleasure suggested titles for the tales and gave an interest to the work." "If my girls find a little beauty or sunshine in these common blossoms, their old friend will not have made her Garland in vain." L.M. ALCOTT. SEPTEMBER, 1887.

La pauvre petite Rose Campbell s'était réfugiée un jour dans le grand salon de ses tantes, afin de rêver à ses chagrins, sans crainte d'être dérangée par personne. Elle éprouvait une sorte de joie amère à pleurer, et, sachant par expérience que ses larmes n'allaient pas tarder à couler, elle tenait déjà son mouchoir à la main pour les essuyer. Son petit corps frêle et maladif était comme perdu dans les profondeurs d'un vaste fauteuil; ses grands yeux bleus, légèrement cernés, regardaient sans les voir les objets qui l'entouraient, et sa figure pâle avait une expression douloureuse au-dessus de son âge. Il faut avouer que, si Rose souhaitait la tristesse, elle ne pouvait choisir une retraite plus convenable.

If any one had asked Johnny Morris who were his best friends, he would have answered, -- "The sun and the wind, next to mother." Johnny lived in a little court that led off from one of the busiest streets in the city, --a noisy street, where horse-car bells tinkled and omnibuses rumbled all day long, going and coming from several great depots near by. The court was a dull place, with only two or three shabby houses in it, and a high blank wall at the end. The people who hurried by were too busy to do more than to glance at the lame boy who sat in the sunshine against the wall, or to guess that there was a picture-gallery and a circulating-library in the court. But Johnny had both, and took such comfort in them that he never could be grateful enough to the wind that brought him his books and pictures, nor to the sun that made it possible for him to enjoy them in the open air, far more than richer folk enjoy their fine galleries and libraries.
