Written in 1875 by the beloved author of ‘Little Women’, Louisa May Alcott, ‘Eight Cousins’ (or
‘The Aunt-Hill’) is a masterpiece of children’s literature. This endearing novel offers readers of all ages an inspiring story about growing up, making friends, and facing life with strength and kindness.
When Rose Campbell, a shy orphan, arrives at
‘The Aunt Hill’ to live with her six aunts and seven boisterous male cousins, she is quite overwhelmed. How could such a delicate young lady, used to the quiet hallways of a girls’ boarding school, exist in such a spirited home? It is the arrival of Uncle Alec that changes everything. Much to the horror of her aunts, Rose’s forward-thinking uncle insists that the child get out of the parlor and into the sunshine. And with a little courage and lots of adventures with her mischievous but loving cousins, Rose begins to bloom.
The adventures of lovely Rose continue in ‘Rose in Bloom’, the sequel Alcott wrote the following year.
