In her pre-Little Women days, she concocted blood-and-thunder tales for low wages; post-Little Women, she specialized in domestic novels and short stories for children. Collected here for the first time are the reminiscences of people who knew her, the majority of which have not been published since their original appearance in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the printed recollections in this book appeared after Alcott 410 0$aWriters in their own time (University of Iowa Press) 606 $aAuthors, American$y19th century$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAuthors, American 676 $a813/.4 676 $aB 701 $aShealy$b Daniel$0915997 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451620403321 996 $aAlcott in her own time$92053479 997 $aUNINA
