Best known for the novels Little Women and Little Men, Louisa May Alcott brought the story of her feisty protagonist Jo and the adventures and misadventures of the March family to an entertaining, surprising, and bittersweet conclusion in Joโs Boys. Beginning ten years after Little Men, Joโs Boys revisits Plumfield, the New England school still presided over by Jo and her husband, Professor Bhaer. Jo remains at the center of the tale, surrounded by her boysโincluding rebellious Dan, sailor Emil, and promising musician Natโas they experience shipwreck and storm, disappointment and even murder.
Popular for over a century, Alcottโs series still holds universal appeal with its powerful and affectionate depiction of familyโthe haven where the prodigal can always return, adversity is shared, and our dreams of being cherished, despite our flaws, come true. In this edition of Joโs Boys, readers once again experience a treasured classic by one of Americaโs best-loved writers.

Louisa May Alcott, born in 1832, was the second child of Bronson Alcott of Concord, Massachusetts, a self-taught philosopher, school reformer, and utopian who was much too immersed in the world of ideas to ever succeed in supporting his family. That task fell to his wife and later to his enterprising daughter Louisa May. While her father lectured, wrote, and conversed with such famous friends as Emerson, Hawthorne, and Thoreau, Louisa taught school, worked as a seamstress and nurse, took in laundry, and even hired herself out as a domestic servant at age nineteen. The small sums she earned often kept the family from complete destitution, but it was through her writing that she finally brought them financial independence. โI will make a battering-ram of my head,โ she wrote in her journal, โand make a way through this rough-and-tumble world.โ
An enthusiastic participant in amateur theatricals since age ten, she wrote her first melodrama at age fifteen and began publishing poems and sketches at twenty-one. Her brief service as a Civil War nurse resulted in Hospital Sketches (1863), but she earned more from the lurid thrillers she began writing in 1861 under the pseudonym of A.M. Barnard. These tales, with titles like โPaulineโs Passion and Punishment,โ featured strong-willed and flamboyant heroines but were not identified as Alcottโs work until the 1940s.
Fame and success came unexpectedly in 1868. When a publisher suggested she write a โgirlโs book,โ she drew on her memories of her childhood and wrote Little Women, depicting herself as Jo March, while her sisters Anna, Abby May, and Elizabeth became Meg, Amy, and Beth. She re-created the high spirits of the Alcott girls and took many incidents from life but made the March family financially comfortable as the Alcotts never had been. Little Women, to its authorโs surprise, struck a cord an Americaโs largely female reading public and became a huge success. Louisa was prevailed upon to continue the story, which she did in Little Men (1871) and Joโs Boys (1886.) In 1873 she published Work: A Story of Experience, an autobiography in fictional disguise with an all too appropriate title.
Now a famous writer, she continued to turn out novels and stories and to work for the womenโs suffrage and temperance movements, as her father had worked for the abolitionists. Bronson Alcott and Louisa May Alcott both died in Boston in the same month, March of 1888.
