Godine has them in a lovely trade paperback edition in the States. They're also available both in hardcover and in a mass market paperback in the UK. Can you tell they are favorites of mine? I read them over and over both as a child and as an adult. Susan is certainly the traditional little mother, but Nancy breaks the mold, and so does Titty, who is perhaps the most fully developed character of the lot. Dorothea's a strong girl character too. This really does work for both boys and girls.
