There are plenty of reviews for Little Women; I will let people who write more eloquently review the story. My review is for a particular edition, the Penguin Vitae hardcover edition from Penguin Classics, ISBN 9780143136200.
I love the covers in this series- they look wonderful, and collectors I'm sure will enjoy them. This edition includes an inspirational foreword by Patti Smith, and an interesting and (thank you!) spoiler free introduction by Anne Boyd Rioux, who also edited this edition. An appendix follows the book, and includes information about the manuscript, including differences between the manuscript and book. I can't say there's anything earth-shatteringly different about this edition versus other editions, but it is quite lovely, and would make a nice gift or addition to one's personal collection.

Little Women is an eternal classic. This modern makeover is beautiful. The yellow cover is gorgeous and there is a brand new foreword from musician Patti Smith included, as well as an introduction by scholar Anne Boyd Rioux. Highly recommended to fans of the classic, as well as brand new readers.

Excellent new edition! Beautiful cover, well-formated throughout. A classic for a reason!

I truly believe that Little Women is one of the books that has had the most lasting impact on female American authors. Everyone imagines themself as Jo, don't they? I love this beautiful yellow cover and hope it will attract continued audiences, especially as we work to introduce young readers to this classic for the first time.
