This little short story collection really reminded me of Anne of Green Gables. I really loved it, but I do adore Little Women (it being my favourite book of all time) and this is in a really similar vein. If you want to read Little Women but are daunted by the size of it (though to be fair, most copies are Little Women and Good Wives combined which makes it a lot heftier) I really recommend this collection first! If you enjoyed this collection, you will most likely enjoy Little Women too :)

Buku ini adalah kumpulan beberapa cerita pendek. Kita akan menjumpai nama-nama bunga di setiap judul cerita. Mawar Mungil adalah cerita yang paling menarik. Cerita ini mengingatkan ku pada karakter Mary Lenox dalam novel The Secret Garden.

This collection of stories was better than I thought it would be. Louisa May Alcott was a talented writer and even if the stories began on a dull "I know exactly where this is heading" note, all of them had a twist towards the end. If you read this book, commit to finishing each story. Don't quit half-way through!
The book teaches many lessons that seem old-fashioned (it was written in 1887) but would be good for our current society to hear. Each story was an example, tight with symbolism, of the moral being emphasized. Most of the middles had passages that were preachy, but the characters had more layers than they seemed at first and there was always a twist after the middle.

This is a very sweet collection of short stories. I find it very clever that everyone short story as a floral theme, linking them all to the title. Of course, it is full of good sentiments and morals, but it's a very enjoyable read!
