Aunt Jo’s Scrap Bag

Aunt Jo's Scrap Bag is a collection of six volumes of stories by American author Louisa May Alcott, published between 1872 and 1882. While Alcott is most famous for her novel Little Women, this collection showcases her diverse storytelling, offering tales that, like some of her other pseudonymous works, could be lurid and violent, yet also featured strong, imaginative female characters. The collection is part of Alcott's broader body of work, which aimed to provide engaging narratives, often drawn from her own experiences and observations.12
