About this title

From the Author:

A rediscovered treasure for the holiday gift-giving season.
I came across this treasure, which I have titled "A Quiet Little Woman," while leafing through the pages of a 1920 issue of "St. Nicholas" magazine. The famous Louisa May Alcott, the most successful American woman author of the 19th century, had noticed the work of the five Lukens girls who were putting out a children's journal much after the fashion of an episode they had read in Alcott's "Little Women." The Lukens little women received encouragement from Miss Alcott when she gave them this story, originally title "Patty's Place," to print. Miss Alcott apparently wrote this story especially for them. "A Quiet Little Woman," which contains two other Christmas stories of Miss Alcott, is expected to have an initial print run of over 200,000 copies! A real treasure for Louisa May Alcott fans and for anyone looking for the right gift for the holiday season, this story has a moral, but it is a moral that stresses realistic expectations over Cinderella fancies and dreams.
