First published in 1902, Spinning-Wheel Stories is a collection of short stories by American author Louisa May Alcott. A group of children are required to stay inside their Grandmother's house due to bad weather, which leads to a narrative of beautifully written short stories told by their grandmother as she teaches them to use a vintage spinning-wheel. Focusing on themes of strength and bravery, these children's stories are perfect for family bedtime reading and feature Alcott's iconic writing style. Contents include: Grandma's Story, Tabby's Table-cloth, Eli's Education, Onawandah, Little Things, The Banner of Beaumanoir, Jerseys; or, the Girl's Ghost, The Little House in the Garden, Daisy's Jewel-box, and How She filled it, Corny's Catamount, The Cooking-Class, and The Hare and the Tortoise. Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888) was an American short story writer, novelist, and poet most famous for writing the novel Little Women, as well as its sequels Little Men and Jo's Boys. She grew up in New England and became associated with numerous notable intellectuals of her time, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Henry David Thoreau. Other notable works by this author include: An Old-Fashioned Girl (1886), Eight Cousins (1869), and A Long Fatal Love Chase (1875).
