About the Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag Series

First published in 1872, Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag is a beloved six-volume series of short stories and essays by Louisa May Alcott. Much like the character of Jo March, Alcott gathered these "scraps" of stories from her travels, her childhood, and her vivid imagination to create a patchwork of literature that has delighted families for over a century. The complete series is now available from Living Book Press, beautifully restored to provide a new generation with the "living books" they deserve.
