These stories for children range from moral fables to fantasy stories and fairy tales. Louisa May Alcott created them for her young niece, Louisa, who was named after the author but nicknamed Lulu. Brimming with whimsy and wisdom, the first collection was an enormous success, inspiring two more volumes.

Her writing often deals with women’s issues in an honest, insightful manner.
