One of the many "girls' books" written by Louisa May Alcott, it takes place in a small New England town after the Civil War. Plot: Jack Minot and Janey Pecq are best friends who live next door to each other. They are always seen together, and so Janey soon gets the nickname of Jill, to mimic the old rhyme.
