'Silver Pitchers' is a collection of nine short stories by famous American authoress Louisa May Alcott. Most of the tales deal with young girls and their early love affairs, but do not lack the moralistic touch of the author. Included are 'Silver Pitchers', 'Anna’s Whim', 'Transcendental Wild Oats', 'The Romance of a Summer Day', 'My Rococo Watch', 'By the River', 'Letty’s Tramp', 'Scarlet Stockings' and 'Independence: A Centennial Love Story.'

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
