Following Sterlings spectacularly successful launch of its childrens classic novels (240,000 books in print to date),comes a dazzling new series: Classic Starts. The stories are abridged; the quality is complete. Classic Starts treats the worlds beloved tales (and children) with the respect they deserve--all at an incomparable price.

Louisa May Alcotts classic novel, set during the Civil War, has always captivated even the most reluctant readers. Little girls, especially, love following the adventures of the four March sisters--Meg, Beth, Amy, and most of all, the tomboy Jo--as they experience the joys and disappointments, tragedies and triumphs, of growing up. This simpler version captures all the charm and warmth of the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly Delightful Retelling
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021

This book is a perfectly delightful retelling of the story of Little Women. It reads well using language that the younger reader can understand and enjoy. It is even a great book for adults who want to visit the story in a short amount of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2010

This is a must have if your daughters are into chapter books. My daughter who is 10 loves to read and has always love to read. I can't remember if I bought this when she was 9 or 10 but it is a great book and after she read it we watched the movie together. Another great book she loves is Anne of Green Gables and every year for Christmas she gets a new book in the series. She loves them and really loved this. It is easy to read and hard cover, it didn't take her very long but she will sit and read for over an hour at a time some times.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adequate Introduction
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2014

I bought this for a little girl I know who's learning English. I had gotten us tickets to a local production of the play, and I wanted her to know the story and characters before we went. For this purpose, it was fine, but, of course, the actual, unabridged book is much richer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic intro to a classic
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2018

Fantastic intro to a classic novel for the young reader. I homeschool my kiddos and use Classic Starts alongside the original novels as I teach multiple ages. As they get older the littles can revisit the original, but are able to enjoy the stories now without the complex prose and vocabulary of the original work. Highly recommend.

I love the classics and try to share with my granddaughters the same love. My 11 years old granddaughter loved the book, she shared it with her 5th grade teacher who told my granddaughter that her Babcia (grandma in Polish) is cool.
