Harriet Reisen’s excellent biography, Louisa May Alcott The Woman Behind Little Women, has just been released in paperback and I have a free copy to give away! This is an wonderful book and even if you’ve read scores of other bios on Louisa and her family, you will learn something new here. Reisen’s book gave me a real hunger to read more of Louisa’s works which in turn, started this blog.
