Three enchanting Christmas stories by Louisa May Alcott.

Just when Louisa May Alcott fans believed there were no more little women on library shelves, the world meets The Quiet Little Woman. Now in a special children's edition, this newly discovered Alcott lady, Patty, is an orphan who grieves that she may never be selected by a family. When finally she is taken into a home, a wonderful Christmas happening transpires, offering the girl poignant hope and belief in the goodness of life. This children's edition of a recent Christmas best-seller has been edited for young readers and is fully illustrated, encouraging it to be a read-alone as well as a read-aloud experience for the whole family. For all Alcott devotees, and for those who like a good story that teaches and inspires.

Patty's life in an orphange is a dark world with little hope, beauty, or love. Even after a family finally does come for Payyt, it is only because they need a servant. But there is one person who does care about her. And soon Patty's life will never be the same.
