After publishing her immensely popular novel "Little Women," Louisa May Alcott released a series of spin-off novels that continued to follow the lives of popular "Little Women" characters. "Little Men" centers around the lives of "Little Women"'s Jo and her students at Plumfield School, while "Jo's Boys" focuses on Plumfield students and relatives of Jo and her husband. Published from 1872 to 1882, the six volumes of the "Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag" series include a collection of stories intended "as a small gift" from Aunt Jo. Though the stories don't actually focus on the beloved character, they do show the impressive range of Alcott's short story writing ability, with everything from humorous travel sketches (Volume Two) to sentimental tales of holiday celebrations (Volume Six). With this early edition of the Scrap-Bag series's first volume, delve into a collection of charming tales like "My Boys" and "Our Little Newsboy."

As some grandmothers rummage their piece-bags and bundles in search of gay odds and ends to make gifts with which to fill the little stockings that hang all in a row on Christmas Eve, Louisa May Alcott has gathered together some stories, old and new, to amuse the large family that has so rapidly and beautifully grown up about her. Her hopes were, that when they promenade in night-caps and gowns to rifle the plump stockings, the little "dears" will utter an "Oh!" of pleasure, and give a prance of satisfaction, when they pull out this small gift from Aunt Jo's scrap-bag. Among the stories included are 'My Boys', 'Tessa's Surprises', 'Buzz', 'The Children's Joke'. 'Dandelion', 'Madam Cluck, and her Family', 'A Curious Call', 'Tilly's Christmas' and many others.
