  Barry Eric Odell Pain was born at 3 Sydney Street in Cambridge on 28th September 1864. He was one of 4 children. 
  He was educated at Sedbergh School and then Corpus Christi College, Cambridge where he read classics and contributed to and edited Granta. 
  Four years of service as an Army coach followed before he moved to London. In 1889, Cornhill Magazine published his short story ‘The Hundred Gates’.  This opened the way for Pain to advance his literary career on several fronts. He became a contributor to Punch and The Speaker, as well as joining the staff of both the Daily Chronicle and Black and White.  
  In 1897 he succeeded Jerome K Jerome as editor of To-Day but still contributed regularly, until 1928, to the Windsor Magazine. 
  It is often said that Pain was discovered by Robert Louis Stevenson, who compared his work to that of Guy de Maupassant.  It’s an apt comparison. Pain was also a master of disturbing prose but able to inject parody and light comedy into many of his works.  A simple premise could in his hands suddenly expand into a world very real but somehow emotionally fraught and on the very edge of darkness as many of these short stories demonstrate.   
  Despite applying his talents to several genres and forms today Pain is more readily thought of, especially during the first decade of the 20th Century, as perhaps the leading British humorist of his day.  These stories reveal a darker side and beg to differ. 
  Barry Pain died on 5th May 1928 in Bushey, Hertfordshire.

  Step into the warmth of the March family parlor and experience the timeless magic of Louisa May Alcott's crowning masterpiece. As the Civil War rages far from home, four unforgettable sisters—the beautiful Meg, the fiercely independent Jo, the gentle Beth, and the artistic Amy—must navigate the trials of poverty, the pangs of growing up, and the bittersweet beauty of first love. 
  Bound by an unbreakable sisterly devotion and guided by their wise and loving Marmee, the girls learn to shoulder their individual "burdens" with humor and grace. From uproarious amateur theatricals and spirited holiday sacrifices to the forging of a lifelong friendship with the lonely "Laurence boy" next door, their pilgrim journey is one of laughter, tears, and profound resilience. 
  Richly narrated to capture every nuance of its beloved characters, Little Women; Or, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy remains an essential celebration of female independence, family loyalty, and the extraordinary power of an ordinary life.
