It's a superior article, a most desirable color, quite chaste and genteel.

Genteel is one of 1,275 words defined in this edition. It does not mean polite. It means having the graces of someone born to money, which is what a shopman flatters Aunt March with and what the March sisters conspicuously do not have. Alcott wrote in 1868 for readers who caught that on sight. A reader who skims past dowdy, chagrin, or prim loses the difference between what the Marches are and what they are pretending to be. This Student Vocabulary Edition gives you the complete novel, with every one of those words defined on the page where it appears.

What's inside. Both parts of the novel, unabridged, all forty-seven chapters, from the sisters' first Christmas without presents to the last harvest at Plumfield. Every vocabulary word is bolded in the text and footnoted the first time it appears. Words like gruel, camphor, frivolous, pensive, rampant, and nimble are there, and 1,157 more. A complete alphabetical glossary at the back lets you find any word again after you have finished reading.

What's not inside. No plot summary. No side-by-side translation. No study questions to grind through. Just Alcott, with the vocabulary handled so nothing slows you down.

Who it's for. Students meeting Little Women for the first time. Honors English classes. ESL and EFL learners. Homeschool families and classroom teachers. And anyone returning to a book they last read at twelve, who suspects they missed something.

Part of the Student Vocabulary Editions series: the vocabulary of the classics. Start here, in a Massachusetts parlor, four sisters and not enough money.
