Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1832. She and her three sisters, Anna, Elizabeth and May, were educated by their father, philosopher and teacher. Louisa spent her childhood in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, where her days were brightened by visits to Ralph Waldo Emerson's library and nature excursions with Henry David Thoreau. Louisa had a vivid imagination, and her stories often turned into melodramas that she and her sisters acted out for their friends. She has published over thirty books, as well as collections and short stories. She died in 1888, just two days after her father.
