Random House, 1995 - Crafts & Hobbies - 45 pages

The author of The Tea Party Book serves up a genteel and inspiring tribute to Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth--the March sisters. Now readers can participate in the very activities and social events depicted in Louisa May Alcott's classic work. Girls will be transported back to an era of homespun amusements in a book mothers will love to share with their daughters.
