When Christmas comes for the four March girls, there is no money for expensive presents & they give away their Christmas breakfast to a poor family. But there are no happier girls than Meg, Jo, Beth & Amy. They miss their father, who is away at the Civil War, but they try hard to be good so that he will be proud of his 'little women'.

This collection contains works by such writers as Poe, Hawthorne, Gaskell, Dickens and M.R. James. It brings together stories from the earliest decades of Gothic writing with later 19th and early 20th century tales.
