Heartwarming tale of a quiet little girl who so desperately wants to be adopted.
Back of Book Says: In the 1870s Louisa May Alcott made friends with five earnest fans of her bes=selling Little Women The younk Lukens girls wrote to Miss Alcott telling her that they were inspried by her books. Soon the Lukens girls recived a very special gift - a Christmas story from Miss Alcott about a lonely orphan girl who finds a family to love her. Also included are a story about Tilly, a poor girl, who has a wonderful Christmas with a robin who needs her care; and, one about Rosa, a horse, who tells her history to a girl who has befriended her.
I Say: Typical Alcott and delightful. Written in the 1800s and still very relevant for today.
My daughter loved this story.
Cute book..there are actually 3 stories in this small volume.
