LITTLE WOMEN - Louisa May Alcott

Today we publish a special Vintage Classics edition of Little Women, to celebrate it’s 150th anniversary of the publication.

The story follows the lives of four sisters Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy during the American Civil War. They navigate their lives through love, loss and family tribulations, the edition including Alcott’s novel Good Wives.

The cover is inspired by traditional quiltmaking, popularised in nineteenth-century America. The patchwork cover is divided into four, each quarter with it’s own subtle textures and colours, which represent the sister’s personalities. They combine together to create the March family quilt. Textiles created by Karen Nicol.
