Little Women
by Louisa May Alcott

with an introduction by Kerry van der Vinne

“Children should be children as long as they can.”

THE “LITTLE WOMEN” of the March family can still remember the prosperous days before the war, when their father was at home. Now, as they come of age, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy must face the challenges of life and love, shaping their minds and their characters along the way. Filled with laughter as well as loss, this classic American novel has been adapted for film and television numerous times, and continues to warm the hearts of readers and viewers alike.

LOUISA MAY ALCOTT (1832-1888) is best remembered for writing Little Women (and its sequels, Little Men and Jo’s Boys), which was largely inspired by her own experiences growing up with three sisters in Concord, Massachusetts during the years before the Civil War.

Complete and unabridged.

Note: “Little Women” was originally published in two volumes, the first called “Little Women: Meg, Jo, Beth & Amy” and the second called “Good Wives.” The Ambry Press edition contains both original volumes in a single book.

Ambry Press is committed to producing high quality classic editions using original and unabridged texts, carefully formatted for optimal readability.

Lady Susan
by Jane Austen

with an introduction by Kerry van der Vinne

I remember saying to myself, as I drove to the house, “I like this man—pray heaven no harm come of it!”

LADY SUSAN is a widow with a reputation. She is charming and beautiful, but utterly selfish and devoid of scruples. When she sets her sights on a much younger man, his family fears he will be drawn into shame and scandal. Meanwhile, Lady Susan’s 16 year-old daughter, Frederica, attempts to flee from the unwelcome attentions of the suitor her mother has picked out for her.

Jane Austen (best known for writing Pride and Prejudice) continues to delight readers with her witty and perceptive take on the role of women and class in late eighteenth century British society. In recent years her novels have been adapted and reinterpreted for film and television many times.

This edition includes a “Cast of Characters” for reference.

The author’s original text is complete and unabridged in this edition.

by Jane Austen

with an introduction by Kerry van der Vinne

“My dear, pray do not make any more matches. They are silly things, and break up one’s family circle grievously!”

EMMA WOODHOUSE has a great enthusiasm for match-making. Having recently married off her own governess, she sets her sights on the next candidates she wishes to coax into matrimony—under the critical eye of her friend and neighbour Mr. Knightley. Meanwhile, the long-absent Frank Churchill returns to the village of Highbury, prompting general curiosity and speculation. But will Emma’s errors of judgement threaten her own chance at love?
