Louisa May Alcott: Her Girlhood Diary

I enjoyed this book. (I'm 13.) It gave the reader enough information to know what kind of girl Louisa was, what she did, how she thought, etc. I thought it was a very good read,(I enjoyed all of her great poetry) however, it left you longing to know MORE about Louisa May Alcott. It lacked ENOUGH information about her, and nearly gave you a small peek into her life. That's why I'm reading another biography on her, which I hope will let me know more about Louisa's life. (P.S...the book is short; I read it in less than a day.)

Excerpts from a diary reflect the life and times of Louisa May Alcott. Through her entries in a journal, Louisa is presented as a real girl, with heartful emotions. An editor's note, afterword, and insets offer more information about the time period. Authentic, the author has attempted to preserve the original writings, including misspellings. I found the biography is to read and informative.
