Every reader of Little Women and Little Men asks: Were Meg, Beth, Amy, and Jo real? Was there a Laurie? Were there pillow fights on Saturday night? In this book Cornelia Meigs tells the real story behind the famous characters - the poor-as-church mice Alcotts and the real Louisa who vowed to give the beloved members of her family what each so sorely needed. A truer-than-fiction account of a remarkable family and a courageous girl.
