A DOUBLE LIFE: NEWLY DISCOVERED THRILLERS OF LOUISA MAY ALCOTT

by Louisa M. Alcott; Madeleine B. Stern; Fay Weldon

Published by Macmillan London Limited. 1st UK. 1989

Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. As the creator of the March family in Little Women, Louisa May Alcott has touched the lives of millions of readers. Yet before that success, Alcott rebelled against the literary conventions of her day. In tales published anonymously in the 'tabloids' of the mid-nineteenth century, she confronted subjects considered too shocking for the book-reading public. Five of those thrillers, recently discovered to be her work, are collected for the first time in this volume. Preface by Fay Weldon, Introduction by Madeleine B. Sterne. Brown boards, gilt title to spine. 246 pages.

Light rubbing to top & tail of spine. Browning to pastedowns underneath the dustwrapper flaps. Page browning throughout. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly faded to spine and a little grubby and scuffed.
