Una serie di racconti tratti dalla raccolta "Lulu’s Library" scritti dall’autrice di "Piccole donne", Louisa May Alcott. Nate come favole della buonanotte per la nipotina, queste storie ebbero poi così tanto successo che l’autrice decise di farne un libro, diventato un regalo di Natale per la piccola. Ne emerge tanta genuinità e una vastità di tematiche all'avanguardia rispetto ai tempi, che fanno comprendere appieno la capacità narrativa dell’autrice e la sua abilità nel trasmettere valori all’epoca rivoluzionari.
