Lulu S Library Volume 3 Illustrated

Rare edition with unique illustrations. American novelist Louisa May Alcott is best known for her classic coming-of-age novel Little Women, and its sequels Little Men and Jo s Boys. "Lulu's Library" is a three-volume set of short stories that were originally told to Alcott's young niece as bedtime stories; as such, they are written at a slightly younger reading level than the author's more familiar children's novels. The tales fall into three categories: traditional fairy stories (of the "little beings living down at the end of the garden" type), stories in which the characters have magical adventures, and more realistic stories set firmly in the real world.

This is a collection of stories by Louisa May Alcott, the famous authoress of classics like 'Little Women.' Included are 'Recollections Of My Childhood', 'A Christmas Turkey, And How It Came', 'The Silver Party', 'The Blind Lark', 'Music And Macaroni', 'The Little Red Purse' and many more.

This unique collection of "LULU'S LIBRARY: Complete Collection (Illustrated Edition)” has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards.

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.” - L. M. Alcott
