Overview

A high quality, manually edited text only reissue of the famed children's classic by Louisa M. Alcott.Being Boston girls, of course they got up a club for mental improvement, and, as they were all descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers, they called it the May Flower Club. A very good name, and the six young girls who were members of it made a very pretty posy when they met together, once a week, to sew, and read well-chosen books. At the first meeting of the season, after being separated all summer, there was a good deal of gossip to be attended to before the question, What shall we read? came up for serious discussion.Anna Winslow, as president, began by proposing Happy Dodd; but a chorus of I've read it! made her turn to her list for another title. 'Prisoners of Poverty' is all about workingwomen, very true and very sad; but Mamma said it might do us good to know something of the hard times other girls have, said Anna, soberly; for she was a thoughtful creature, very anxious to do her duty in all ways. I'd rather not know about sad things, since I can't help to make them any better, answered Ella Carver, softly patting the apple blossoms she was embroidering on a bit of blue satin. But we might help if we really tried, I suppose; you know how much Happy Dodd did when she once began, and she was only a poor little girl without half the means of doing good which we have, said Anna, glad to discuss the matter, for she had a little plan in her head and wanted to prepare a way for proposing it.
