Book Description
“Silver Pitchers: and Independence, a Centennial Love Story” is a 1888 collection of short stories by written by American author Louisa May Alcott. Louisa May Alcott (1832 – 1888) was an American short story writer, novelist, and poet most famous for writing the novel “Little Women”, as well as its sequels “Little Men” and “Jo's Boys”. She grew up in New England and became associated with numerous notable intellectuals of her time, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Henry David Thoreau. These stories offer a great deal of insight into what life was like for people–especially women—in America during the late eighteen hundreds, exploring such themes as temperance, women's financial struggles, and the problems that come with looking for a utopia. Contents include: “Silver Pitchers”, “Anna's Whim”, “Transcendental Wild Oats”, “The Romance Of A Summer Day”, “My Rococo Watch”, “By The River”, “Letty's Tramp”, “Scarlet Stockings”, and “Independence: A Centennial Love Story”. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
