As he looked about him Nat thought it seemed more like a great family than a school, for the lads were sitting in a wide half-circle around the fire, some on chairs, some on the rug, Daisy and Demi on the knees of Uncle Fritz, and Rob snugly stowed away in the back of his mother’s easy-chair, where he could nod unseen if the talk got beyond his depth.

–Louisa May Alcott in Little Men

    I read Little Men several years ago and I absolutely loved it! I was reminded of it this summer when I read The Awakening of Miss Prim. I think I’m going to have to read it again soon!
