All but three of these stories were told to my little niece during our quiet hour before bedtime. They became such favorites with her and her friends that I wrote them down in several small blue books, and called them LULU'S LIBRARY. Having nothing else to offer this year, I have collected them in one volume as a Christmas gift to my boys and girls from their old friend AUNT JO. - Summary by Louisa May Alcott

Unlike the other volumes in this series, which are books of childrens' stories, Shawl-Straps is a novel. It is the story of Amanda, Matilda, and Lavinia, three sisters who are travelling in Europe. The book is based on Louisa May Alcott's own travels with her sister. She states in the preface: "There is a sort of fate about writing books of travel which it is impossible to escape. It is vain to declare that no inducement will bribe one to do it, that there is nothing new to tell, and that nobody wants to read the worn-out story: sooner or later the deed is done, and not till the book is safely...

Four years later, Polly returns to scratch out a living as a music teacher, but finds herself mixed up in much more than piano lessons. Through heartache and love triangles, temptation and tragedy, Polly’s story shows that even the dreams of old-fashioned girls can come ...

Some stories don't age — they evolve. Little Women is not just a novel about four sisters; it's about growing up in a world that doesn't wait for anyone. It's about ambition that doesn't always wear boots, kindness that costs everything, and the quiet revolutions that begin around the dinner table. Louisa May Alcott didn't write fairy tales. She wrote what she saw — and what she dreamed could be better. Her heroines don't need rescuing; they make choices, break molds, and leave footprints. You might recognize them. You might be one of them. This is not a story frozen in time.
