Little Men: Life at Plumfield with Jo's Boys

by Louisa May Alcott

In the home to-night;

And we come to offer

Thanks where thanks are due,

With grateful hearts and voices,

Father, mother, unto you.”

With the last words the circle narrowed till the good Professor and his wife were taken prisoner by many arms, and half hidden by the bouquet of laughing young faces which surrounded them, proving that one plant had taken root and blossomed beautifully in all the little gardens. For love is a flower that grows in any soil, works its sweet miracles undaunted by autumn frost or winter snow, blooming fair and fragrant all the year, and blessing those who give and those who receive.

THE END

This is the Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts, now a museum visited every year by hundreds of people. Here lived the real Little Women, Louisa May Alcott and her sisters, whose complete story is told in the three books—LITTLE WOMEN, LITTLE MEN, and JO’S BOYS.
