Graphic Classics: Louisa May Alcott adapts the work of one of America’s greatest writers (male or female) with her most famous work plus lesser-known gothic mysteries and horror stories:
- Little Women, adapted for comics by Trina Robbins and illustrated by Anne Timmons.
- A Whisper in the Dark by Antonella Caputo and Arnold Arre
- The Rival Prima Donnas by Rod Lott and Molly Crabapple
- Lost in a Pyramid by Alex Burrows and Pedro Lopez
Also two poems and two strange children’s stories, Buzz and The Piggy Girl, illustrated by Mary Fleener, Shary Flenniken, Toni Pawlowsky, and Lisa K. Weber.
“The selections range widely across the Alcott oeuvre to include not just ‘Little Women’ but also poems and short stories for more sophisticated audiences. The full-color artwork should help draw in readers who think of nineteenth-century classics as being perennially gray. An excellent addition to both school and public library collections, whether this series is already a mainstay or will be a new discovery.”
