Über dieses E-Book

Jo March and the Plumfield boys return in the third novel in the Little Women series, following Little Men.
 
A decade after the events of Little Men, Jo’s Boys returns to the Plumfield estate, where Jo and her husband, Prof. Friedrich Bhaer, still run their boys’ school. With the March sisters’ children embarking on their own grown-up adventures, Jo immerses herself in the lives of her students—both present and past. Freespirited Dan seeks his fortune in the Wild West, Nat’s musical career takes him to Europe, and Friedrich’s nephew Emil sets sail and is tragically shipwrecked. Their fates will depend on their strength of character and the lessons learned under Jo and Friedrich’s loving tutelage.
 
“This is the final instalment in the story of the March family, which is now the Bhaer, Brooke, Laurence and March families, and is a nice conclusion to the tale started in Little Women. There is still so much to know about these characters and I personally like the fact that you are left to imagine the rest of the story yourself.” —thebookwormery
