ALCOTT, LOUISA M. Jo's Boys
London, Dean & Son Ltd. circa 1950s. Hard Cover, 8vo. Publishers original green boards with black lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, light chipping to top and base of spine and corners, now protected in Brodart. White endpapers, no inscriptions. 215pp. toning to page edges and to closed pages, otherwise clean and bright in firm binding. The author of this book began with one called Little Women. In it was a wonderful character called Josephine March. This book is also about Jo and her sister Meg, not to mention her sons Rob and Teddy, known as the 'Lion and the Lamb' because one was 'as rampant as the king of beasts' and the other 'as gentle as any sheep that ever baaed'. 'Jo's Boys' are not all her sons, however, some are one-time pupils at the school she opened with her husband Mr. Bhaer. In this wonderfully told story we find out what happened to all Mrs. Jo's boys. And exciting and amusing things happened to all of them. The author has delighted generations of readers with her Little Women, Good Wives and Little Men, but many people declare that for sheer rollicking fun, as well as for the excitement of life at sea, Jo's Boys is the best of all. Very Good/Very Good.
