LITTLE MEN

About the Book:- Little Men, or Life at Plumfield with Jo’s Boys, is a children’s novel by American author Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888), which was first published in 1871 by Roberts Brothers. The book reprises characters from her 1868–69 two-volume novel Little Women, and acts as a sequel, or as the second book in an unofficial Little Women trilogy. The trilogy ends with Alcott’s 1886 novel Jo’s Boys, and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to Little Men. Alcott’s story recounts the life of Jo Bhaer, her husband, and the various children at Plumfield Estate School. Alcott’s classic novel has been adapted to a 1934 film, a 1940 film, a 1998 film, a television series, and a Japanese animated television series. Little Men was first adapted into film in 1934 starring Erin O’Brien-Moore and Ralph Morgan. Another film followed in 1940 with Kay Francis. In 1998, a Canadian feature starring Mariel Hemingway and Chris Sarandon was released. In 1993, an animated television series based on this novel ran in Japan, Little Women II: Jo’s Boys, which has been dubbed into several different languages, albeit not English. A Canadian television series, Little Men, aired in 1998 to 1999 for two seasons. The plot is somewhat altered and acts more as a continuation of the novel.
