As the creator of the March family in Little Women, Louisa May Alcott has touched the lives of millions of readers.

Five of those thrillers, recently discovered to be her work, are collected for the first time in this volume. Preface by Fay Weldon, Introduction by Madeleine B. Sterne. Brown boards, gilt title to spine. 246 pages. ISBN: 0333490339. Light rubbing to top & tail of spine. Browning to pastedowns underneath the dustwrapper flaps. Page browning throughout.
