Little Men

After inheriting a big old house, Jo joins forces with her professor husband to open Plumfield as a school for boys. And not just any boys, but those who don’t fit in elsewhere. Like Jo herself, her school was anything but conventional. All manner of jovial games were allowed under the once decorous roof of Plumfield, but the lads had learned that liberty must not be abused. So, in spite of many dark predictions, the school flourished, and manners and morals were insinuated, without the pupils exactly knowing how it was done. The story revolves around the challenges some new boys present and how they are resolved to everyone’s satisfaction.
