Little Men

The book recounts six months in the life of the students at Plumfield, a school run by German Professor Friedrich and Mrs. Josephine Bhaer (nee March). The idea of the school is first suggested at the very end of Little Women, Part Two when adult Jo inherited the estate from her late Aunt March. The story begins with the arrival of Nat Blake, a shy young orphan who used to earn a living playing the violin.
