A modern biography of an ambivalent rebel and irreverent feminist who became, in spite of herself, one of our most popular authors.

While most readers know her only from her beloved classic Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo's Boys, her journey to become one of American's best known authors was full of twists and turns. Daughter of a prominent educator, her early life was filled with encounters with such notables and Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and other prominent intellectuals of the day. But her rise to literary fame marred by poverty and war, and hindered by her unconventional ideas about slavery, women's rights and politics.

Author Martha Saxton shows how her transendentalist father, activist mother, and three sisters not only influenced her world view, but became the basis for stories of the March family, beloved the world over.

Cute!
I actually ordered these as mascots for a pb&j food bank drive at work. They're cute, well made, and a big hit with associates and customers alike. I do believe my dog would've loved them had I allowed him to play with them..

So cute
I have a 1.5 yr old cavapoo & cockapoo. They love the little squeaky toys that, esp my cockapoo. He likes to run around making them squeak. These ones are a little bit bigger than some of the others they have. I knew they would be. He still runs around with them, there’s just no squeaking. My husband loves peanut butter and jelly, I had to get them. They’re super cute! Made well.

I thought these are Cute My dogs didn't think so
These are cute and would work well for medium and larger dogs.  Not dogs under 25lbs.  The toys are to big for their little mouths and they can't get a hold of them to play with them.

Fun little ball!
Fun little ball! Glad I got the football version the regular ball would be a choking hazard for my Great Dane. The ball rolls and shakes on the floor which at first was scary, but now she loves it! She nudges it all over the floor to keep it moving, keeping her entertained for a bit.
