Children’s Classics brings together two of the most beloved and enduring novels in children’s literature — Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This charming collection offers readers a chance to revisit the warmth, wisdom, and imagination of two classic tales that have enchanted generations.

In Little Women, Louisa May Alcott captures the trials, joys, and dreams of the March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy — as they grow up in Civil War-era America.

Its memorable characters and heartfelt storytelling have made it a treasured work since its first publication in 1868, inspiring countless adaptations for stage and screen.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett follows the story of Mary Lennox, a lonely orphan sent to live with her uncle in a sprawling Yorkshire manor. When Mary discovers a hidden, neglected garden, she, along with new friends Dickon and Colin, transforms both the secret place and themselves. This enduring tale celebrates the restorative power of nature, friendship, and hope. Together, these timeless stories make Children’s Classics an essential volume for readers of all ages who cherish stories of resilience, imagination, and heart.
