I was not previously aware of the existence of many of Louisa May Alcott's writings outside Little Women and its first two sequels. This story collection sits in an uncomfortable zone today: it requires a long attention span, but has themes which are of most interest to younger audiences. "Tilly's Story" is a nice Christmas tale that may work with third graders. ( )

Interesting little book of 3 Holiday stories by Louisa May Alcott that were published in a fairly small-run literary journal of some period fans of hers that were unknown to the modern publishing world and discovered and published in 1999. Fairly simple predictable happy-ending Alcott children's pieces that glide along very quickly. Never meant for a huge audience, they are nonetheless fun to experience. ( )
