A collection of nine stories, including "Silver Pitchers" and "Independence: A Centennial Love Story" by the author of "Little Women." Synopsis *This Book is annotated (it contains a detailed biography of the author) This collection of short love stories by Louisa May Alcott will not disappoint her fans. Included in this volume are: "Silver Pitchers," the story of the popular girls who take a stand against drinking by forming a temperance club; "Anna's Whim," a love story; "Transcendental Wild Oats," the satire of her father's utopian experiment; "The Romance of a Summer's Day," the romance of a young lady seeking independence; " My Rococo Watch," an account of desire gone humorously wrong; "By The River: A Legend of the Assabet," a charming and fatalistic tale of a young poet; "Letty's Tramp," another charming tale of friendship and love; "Scarlet Stockings," a Civil War romance; and "Independence: A Centennial Love Story," which is precisely what the title suggests. Alcott wrote the stories in 1875, the Centennial year of the American Revolution's beginning, and has a strong theme of independence within romantic love.
