Louisa May Alcott Anniversary Today

HucksOnline has learned that today is Louisa May Alcott’s birthday (born in 1832), thanks to a tweet by Cindy . Wikipedia describes Alcott this way: “She is best known for the novel Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo’s Boys . Little Women was set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts , and published in 1868. This novel is loosely based on her childhood experiences with her three sisters.” And: “Alcott’s early education included lessons from the naturalist Henry David Thoreau . She received the majority of her schooling from her father. She received some instruction also from writers and educators such as Ralph Waldo Emerson , Nathaniel Hawthorne , and Margaret Fuller , who were all family friends.”
