The Mysterious Key and What It Opened is a tale of mystery and romance. The story follows Paul, an orphaned boy and Lillian Trevlyn, beautiful and rich young girl. Extract: "In a week Paul was a favorite with the household; even prudent Hester felt the charm of his presence, and owned that Lillian was happier for a young companion in her walks. Hitherto the child had led a solitary life, with no playmates of her own age, such being the will of my lady; therefore she welcomed Paul as a new and delightful amusement, considering him her private property and soon transferring his duties from the garden to the house."

Extract:
""Clear the lulla!" was the general cry on a bright December afternoon, when all the boys and girls of Harmony Village were out enjoying the first good snow of the season. Up and down three long coasts they went as fast as legs and sleds could carry them. One smooth path led into the meadow, and here the little folk congregated; one swept across the pond, where skaters were darting about like water-bugs; and the third, from the very top of the steep hill, ended abruptly at a rail fence on the high bank above the road."

We are no longer children, – but it is not long since we were; and remembering that golden time, when the sun was brighter, the flowers twice as many, the rivers larger, and everything fairer, than it ever has been since, we welcome this book of fables for children. The writer of them was herself a girl of sixteen when they were written, – many, many years ago, – and of course their chief charm is for younger people than we venerable undergraduates. And the children (whose judgment is best) declare loudly for the book, and listen pleased for hours to the adventures of Lily-Bell and Thistledown and the kind little Ripple. But others also can find a pleasure in the love and knowledge of Nature which the book shows, and in its graceful fancies and sweet lessons of charity and patience. The men and women who write stories for children do a greater work for the world than we are wont to think of. Horace praised poets because they formed the «tender mouth» of children, and turned them from the vile to the beautiful. Miss Alcott does not need to «Claim the shelter from her sire of an immortal name,» for she has earned praises for herself.

The story tells how Rose, who has been recently orphaned and must now reside with her maiden great aunts, one of the most winning heroines in juvenile fiction, and her seven boy cousins, get into scrapes, mischief and all kinds of fun. Like many of Alcott's books for young people, this story sometimes takes a high moral tone, too.

Surely no book has gone forth with a simpler purpose, and just because 'Little Women' is not «preachy» it has found its way to the hearts of its readers. Honest little girls, striving to be good and carry their burdens cheerily, have prized it through generations; it has given them a better grip on the small things of life, which count so much for true happiness; but brightest of all the gems the book contains is the radiance of mother-love which shines through it. The March girls loved their mother, made her their confidante, and turned to her through every trial of their lives; she was companion and friend as well as teacher and guide, and many a girl, and many a mother, has learned a lesson from the beautiful example these " Little Women " have set them. Louisa Alcott wrote many bright and wholesome stories after her «luck child» had found her a corner in the world of fame, but 'Little Women' comes first on the shelf, and in the hearts of her admirers. This edition also includes the sequel to the original 'Little Women', 'Good Wives,' telling the avid reader of the life of the March girls as young women.
