She inherits the vast country estate of Plumfield from her crotchety old Aunt March and immediately decides to set up a school for boys. Little Men continues the story of Jo March after she marries the love of her life, Professor Bhaer. The character of Jo March was based on Alcott herself and many of the episodes in the books are based on real happenings at the family home she shared with her parents and sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. The “March Family Saga” as the books came to be known was semi-autobiographical in nature. Little Men is, like Alcott's other books in the series, based on some of the events in her own life. Filled with remarkable, endearing and memorable characters, the books remain as fresh and enjoyable as they were when they first came out more than a century ago. It followed the success of Little Women in 1868 and Good Wives in 1869, which portrayed the fortunes of the March family. Published in 1871, the book's full title was Little Men or Life at Plumfield with Jo's Boys. If you've read and loved Little Women, you'd probably enjoy finding out more about the doings of the sisters in the third book in the series, Little Men.
