All sorts of neglected flowers and wild weeds grew between their stems, covering the walls of this summer parlor with the prettiest tapestry. A board, propped on two blocks of wood, stood in the middle of the walk, covered with a little plaid shawl much the worse for wear, and on it a miniature tea-service was set forth with great elegance.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American author born in Philadelphia, USA. She began her career writing short stories under pen names, including A. M. Barnard. Alcott is best known for her children's novel Little Women, 1868, and its subsequent sequels: Good Wives, 1869, Little Men, 1871, and Jo's Boys, 1886.

Alcott was also a determined activist and was heavily involved in abolitionism and feminist movements.
