Little Men, or Life at Plumfield with Jo's Boys, is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott, first published in 1871. The novel reprises characters from Little Women and is considered by some the second book in an unofficial Little Women trilogy, which is completed with Alcott's 1886 novel Jo's Boys, and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to "Little Men". It tells the story of Jo Bhaer and the children at Plumfield Estate School. It was inspired by the death of Alcott's brother-in-law, which reveals itself in one of the last chapters, when a beloved character, John Brooke, from Little Women dies. It has been adapted to a 1934 film, a 1940 film, a television series, and a Japanese animated television series. The most recent screen adaptation is the 1998 Canadian family drama film of the same name starring Mariel Hemingway and Chris Sarandon. Less
