LITTLE WOMEN AND WEREWOLVES
Book ID/图书代码: 01240010B34810
English Summary/英文概要: A literary landmark—the original, suppressed draft of the classic novel!
Little Women is a timeless classic. But Louisa May Alcott’s first draft—before her editor sunk his teeth into it—was even better. Now the original text has at last been exhumed. In this uncensored version, the March girls learn some biting lessons, transforming from wild girls into little women—just as their friends and neighbors transform into vicious, bloodthirsty werewolves!
Here are tomboy Jo, quiet Beth, ladylike Amy, and good-hearted Meg, plus lovable neighbor Laurie Laurence, now doomed to prowl the night on all fours, maiming and devouring the locals. As the Civil War rages, the girls learn the value of being kind, the merits of patience and grace, and the benefits of knowing a werewolf who can disembowel your teacher.
In this "original version" of Louisa May Alcott’s classic, the beloved little women must keep not just the wolf, but the werewolves, from the door... and the kindly old gentlemen next door and his grandson may have a few secrets to hide.
The March girls want more than just presents for Christmas: they’re wishing for a father or brothers to provide for them, do heavy chores, and, of course, protect them from the werewolves. Little do they know that their lives are about to change forever--for Jo has discovered that the Laurence boy next door has a secret: he, too, is a werewolf! As the girls dig deeper into their neighbors’ secrets and follow their own personal Pilgrims’ Progress, they will learn the true meanings of friendship, generosity, and lycanthropy. Black and white drawings throughout charmingly depict the March girls and the werewolves who inhabit their lives.
By turns heartwarming and blood-curdling, this rejuvenated classic will be cherished and treasured by those who love a lesson in virtue almost as much as they enjoy a good old-fashioned dismemberment.
Includes the original letter from Alcott’s editor, telling her not to even think about it!
