Summary: A wholesome perspective of Louisa May Alcott's personal life
Review: The authors of this book present a charming perspective of how Louisa May Alcott's personal life paralled many of the story lines in Little Women. They paint a detailed picture of the day to day activities which were necessary to maintain a certain standard of living in the late 1800's. After reading this Treasury of Little Women, one gets the impression what Louisa May Alcott missed in real life, she made for herself in Little Women. The authors provide recipes from that timeframe and instructions for sewing projects and such which were described in Little Women. Even if one has no desire to use the recipes or instructions, it is quite interesting to read the ingredients used back then and methods for doing things the old-fashioned way -- by hand. Reading this book was a nice get-a-way from the problems of today.
