Artifact Overview

Whitman Publishing Company began publishing Big Little Books in 1932. The books usually adapted popular comic strips, movies, radio programs, or novels; their subject matter, small size (usually 3-5 inches tall), and full-page illustrations appealed to young readers. This Big Little Book is based on the 1933 RKO Radio Pictures adaptation of Little Women, starring Katharine Hepburn as Jo March.
