Part of this includes changing the setting. Because both of these graphic novels are modern adaptations of Little Women, it seems almost necessary to compare them and look at the work they’re doing compared to Alcott’s original 1868 Little Women.īoth books are modern adaptations of Little Women, placing Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy along with the various characters who join them along the way in current times and updating the scenarios they face with more modern ones (say goodbye to pickled limes). I’d already read another modern graphic novel adaptation of Little Women by Rey Terciero and Bre Indigo called Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy that was published in 2019 (My dogs also ate my copy of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy this summer). So when I saw, Jo: An adaptation of Little Women (sort of) by Kathleen Gros on the graphic novel shelves in the Tween Room at the Brookline Public Library, I had to check it out. I’ve published poetry written in response to some of her works, reviewed a spinoff young adult novel, and visited her home of Orchard House multiple times. It’s not a big secret that I’m a pretty big fan of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women.
