A Garland for Girls by Louisa May Alcott
3.0
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.
