Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag

As grandmothers rummage their piece-bags and bundles in search of gay odds and ends with which to fill the little stockings that hang all in a row on Christmas Eve, so I have gathered together some stories, old and new, to amuse the large family that has so rapidly and beautifully grown up about me. I hope that when they promenade in nightcaps and gowns to rifle the plump stockings, the little ôdearsö will utter an ôOh!ö of pleasure, and give a prance of satisfaction, as they pull out this gift from Aunt JoÆs scrap-bag. - Louisa May Alcott, Christmas Holidays, 1871-1872 Contents: JimmyÆs Cruise in the Pinafore The DollsÆ Journey From Minnesota to Maine Morning-Glories Clams Little Marie of Lehon RosaÆs Tale Dandelion How They Camped Out What Becomes of the Pins NellyÆs Hospital An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving KateÆs Choice Autobiography of an Omnibus Roses and Forget-Me-Nots TessaÆs Surprises My Boys A Happy BirthdayLouisa May Alcott is the author of 'Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag' with ISBN 9780781216302 and ISBN 0781216303.
