Louisa May Alcott's An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving is filled with the warmth of character and family life that has made Alcott a favorite for over 100 years.
In this story of an 1820s Thanksgiving, a woman must leave her children to care for her ailing mother. She goes away on Thanksgiving Day, and the children decide to prepare their own Thanksgiving feast. Later that day, to the children's surprise, Mother returns to find a delightful dinner on the table.
