Nothing of its kind could be better than Miss Alcott’s “Little Men,” unless, possibly, her “Little Women.” ... It is the story of boys at school, and how they lived there. The boys will like it, for it will tell them of their own kind. The mothers will like it, for it is full of suggestions on the high art of governing. And everybody should read it, for it is cheery and like cordial from beginning to end.—Congregationalist.
“Little Men” has never been given to an admiring public in any form so charming as this one. All that was needed to make the tale quite irresistible was such illustrations as are here supplied, fifteen full-page ones instinct with life and movement and charm.—Boston Budget.
