Emma Watson has officially announced our #LWBookFairies activity! Book fairies around the world are hiding a total of 2,000 copies of Little Women, in celebration of the film release. As part of the activity, a variety of editions (122 to be exact!) will be hidden for some very lucky finders. There is also a note hidden inside each copy, from Emma herself, who plays Meg March in the new film ???? About the book: Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott’s most popular and enduring novel, Little Women. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War. Little Women brought Louisa May Alcott lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the "girl’s book” her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America. #ibelieveinbookfairies #littlewomen #littlewomenmovie #littlewomenfilm #bookstagram #instabooks #bookobsessed #bookaddict #emmawatson #louisamayalcott #bookfairies #bookfairiesworldwide #bookfairiesphilippines #manila #philippines
