Publisher's Synopsis

""Jack and Jill"" is a classic children's novel written by Louisa May Alcott. The story is set in a small New England town and follows the lives of two close friends, Jack Minot and Jill Hammond. The two children are full of energy and are always getting into mischief. However, their lives take a tragic turn when they both suffer serious injuries after sledding down a steep hill. The rest of the story focuses on their recovery and the lessons they learn about life, love, and friendship. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a wise doctor, a kind nurse, and a mischievous boy named Frank. Through their experiences, Jack and Jill learn the importance of perseverance, kindness, and forgiveness. ""Jack and Jill"" is a heartwarming story that has captivated readers of all ages for generations.Jack and Jill never cared to say much about the night which followed the first coasting party of the season, for it was the saddest and the hardest their short lives had ever known. Jack suffered most in body; for the setting of the broken leg was such a painful job, that it wrung several sharp cries from him, and made Frank, who helped, quite weak and white with sympathy, when it was over.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
