Ebook Download | Alcott in Her Own Time | This book is a real gem. The editor did a marvelous job and I think it is a must have for anyone who is interested in Louisa May Alcott.
Within this book we have eyewitness accounts of people who knew Louisa May Alcott and her family, before and during her fame. The editor gives a brief biography of the person giving their account and this is very helpful because you have a greater understanding of how this person knew Louisa. I found some of the passages very moving especially those that spoke of Lizzy(Beth in Little Women). There was one part in the book where a person encountered Louisa sewing Lizzy's burial shroud and Louisa was so upset she ran from the room. These are the small glimpses that make the book priceless.
I will agree with the other reviewer that this book does cover a lot about Louisa's father. Although, to be fair, I found that he was mentioned when people were recalling the family. I do not recall any stand-alone essays on him. Some of the entries found in this book maybe redundant if you are an avid Louisa May Alcott fan. For instance there are some journal snippets from Louisa May Alcott and a few other things that I have read before. However, this is an excellent addition to your Alcott collection.
