Lulu S Library Volume 2

Reproduction of the original: Lulu ́s Library by Louisa May Alcott

First published in 1887, this book contains volume II of “Lulu's Library”, a collection of over thirty fantastic stories for children written by Louisa May Alcott. This wonderful collection is perfect for children and would make for ideal bedtime reading material. Louisa May Alcott (1832 – 1888) was an American short story writer, novelist, and poet most famous for writing the novel “Little Women”, as well as its sequels “Little Men” and “Jo's Boys”. She grew up in New England and became associated with numerous notable intellectuals of her time, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Henry David Thoreau. The stories include: “The Frost King And How The Fairies Conquered Him”, “Lilybell And Thistledown”, “Ripple, The Water Sprite”, “Eva's Visit To Fairyland”, “Sunshine, And Her Brothers And Sisters”, “The Fairy Spring”, “Queen Aster”, “The Brownie And The Princess”, “Mermaids”, “Little Bud”, and “The Flower's Story”. Other notable works by this author include: "An Old-Fashioned Girl" (1886), "Eight Cousins" (1869), and "A Long Fatal Love Chase" (1875). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
