Little Men  by Louisa May Alcott

First published in the year 1871, the present children’s fictional novel ‘Little Men’ by American author Louisa May Alcott reprises characters from Little Women and is considered by some the second book in an unofficial Little Women trilogy, which is completed with Alcott’s 1886 novel Jo’s Boys, and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to “Little Men”. It tells the story of Jo Bhaer and the children at Plumfield Estate School. It was inspired by the death of Alcott’s brother-in-law, which reveals itself in one of the last chapters, when a beloved character from Little Women passes away. (courtesy: wikipedia)
