Lulu's Library Vol. 2: Classic Fairy Stories for Children - Tapa dura

Acerca del autor

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American novelist, short story writer, poet, and author of classic children's literature, best known for Little Women and its sequels. Raised in a New England household shaped by Transcendentalist thought, reform politics, education, and literary ambition, Alcott developed a body of work that combined domestic realism, moral seriousness, humour, and sympathy for the emotional lives of children and young women. Her fiction remains central to nineteenth-century American literature and to the history of juvenile fiction.Although Alcott is most often remembered for the March family novels, her shorter works show the breadth of her imagination: family stories, girls' fiction, fairy tales, moral sketches, sentimental tales, and stories of work, illness, courage, and self-command. Lulu's Library Vol. 2 displays her gift for children's fantasy and moral storytelling, using fairyland and the natural world to explore kindness, vanity, loyalty, imagination, and the shaping of character. For readers of classic children's books, Victorian fairy tales, and American juvenile fiction, Alcott remains one of the enduring names of the field.
