Louisa May Alcott - Jack and Jill краткое содержание
Merely to intimate that are other stories by Miss Alcott than 'Little Women' will be sufficient to set the world of juvenile readers on tip-toe with pleased expectation, and those who are fortunate enough to become the possessors of «Jack and Jill» will surely not be disappointed. If it is not equal to « Little Women,» it at least surpasses all other stories from the same pen, in that delightfully real manner of painting child-life which has made the author's name a household word not only in England and America, but in France, where her works have been translated and met with a wide sale. In the days when good juvenile literature is so general, it is pleasant to meet with books of such exceptional merit – books which may already be fairly ranked as classics. «Jack and Jill» is undoubtedly one of the best stories for young people.

"A Modern Mephistopheles" was one of the best novels in that remarkable collection of American fiction known as the 'No Name' series. Miss Alcott's name has long been associated with it, because she never made any special effort to conceal the authorship. It is in many respects her most noteworthy effort, and by it her qualities as a writer may safely be judged. The novel is distinctly poetical in motive and the imaginative power displayed in the working out of the plot is to...
"The author of «Little Women» seeks, and not without success, to draw from her «Old-Fashioned Girl» a contrast and a moral. She presents to our view two young ladies of opposite «styles.» One is fresh and rural: the other isn't. The difference is about as great as that between the warbling of woodside birds and the jingle of one of Offenbach's tunes on a corner barrel-organ."—Book Notice from Punchinello, April 30,1870.
