Summary "Little Men: Life at Plumfield With Jo's Boys" by Louisa May Alcott is a novel written in the late 19th century, continuing the story of the March family from Alcott's earlier work, "Little Women." The narrative centers on the happenings at Plumfield, a progressive school for boys run by Josephine March Bhaer (Aunt Jo) and her husband, Professor Bhaer. The book introduces a variety of boys under their care, focusing on the new boy, Nat Blake, who comes from a troubled background and seeks a place where he belongs and can thrive. At the start of the story, Nat arrives at Plumfield, feeling timid and uncertain about his future. He is welcomed by the warm and lively environment of the school, where boys engage in playful antics and chores in a nurturing atmosphere. Nat's introduction to the other boys emphasizes themes of friendship, acceptance, and the desire for belonging. This opening portion captures the strong sense of community at Plumfield, showcasing characters like Tommy Bangs, Demi Brooke, and the kind-hearted Bhaers, who work together to create a loving and supportive home for all the boys, especially Nat as he navigates his challenges and learns about kindness, music, and personal growth.
