'Silver Pitchers' is a collection of nine short stories by famous American authoress Louisa May Alcott. Most of the tales deal with young girls and their early love affairs, but do not lack the moralistic touch of the author. Included are 'Silver Pitchers', 'Anna’s Whim', 'Transcendental Wild Oats', 'The Romance of a Summer Day', 'My Rococo Watch', 'By the River', 'Letty’s Tramp', 'Scarlet Stockings' and 'Independence: A Centennial Love Story.'
