Meer oor hierdie e-boek

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”.
