The one star rating is for this particular edition of the book. I have loved this book all my life and having worn out my childhood copy, was hoping to get a new one. An UNABRIDGED copy!! This is not the original...words and whole phrases have been changed and added to this copy! If you, like I was, are looking for an original, untouched, UNABRIDGED copy of Little Women then bypass this edition!! I cannot even begin to tell you how disappointed I was!! I will be returning this copy and continue my search for a REAL copy of Little Women that hasn´t had words changed, modernized, or ´dumbed down´!! . And summed up by saying NOT Unabridged!!!. Currently Little Women (Unabridged Classics) has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
