Jo's Boys (1959)

Concept and creative process

Opening titles for a BBC drama serial adapted by Constance Cox and freely based on 'Little Men' and 'Jo's Boys' by Louisa M. Alcott. A single illustration of the Plumfield farmhouse turned schoolhouse for Jo’s two sons, nephews and a gang of orphaned children was all that was considered necessary to introduce the 1959 television adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s 1871 sequel to ‘Little Women’ – ‘Little Men’ or ‘Life at Plumfield with Jo’s Boys’.
