ALCOTT, LOUISA MAY

Follow the life of a woman who not only depicted family harmony at its best in her well-known books about early nineteenth century life, but also, in her quest to provide financial security for her family, wrote poetry, mystery stories and dramatic tales of "blood and thunder" when times were hard. Articles on Alcott's work as a nurse and editor of a children's magazine shed light on her accomplishments. Revealing entries from her journal are inspiration for readers to try their hand at keeping a diary of their own. A holiday recipe for white taffy is also included.
