Synopsis "Eight Cousins"

"Eight Cousins" is Louisa May Alcott's classic children's tale first published in 1875. It is the story of Rose Campbell, who is thirteen when her wealthy father dies. Rose has been motherless from a young age and has had very little contact with her extended family when she finds herself orphaned. A pretty and sweet girl she is suddenly in the care of her great-aunts, her father's six brothers, their wives, and her seven male cousins. Rose must learn to find her place as a young lady and heiress in this new and often overwhelming world. "Eight Cousins" is full of the practical, healthy, and wholesome advice and wisdom that readers expect from Alcott and her timeless novels of young girls growing into independent, thoughtful, and respectable ladies. Rose's story is also a touching and heartwarming glimpse of her struggle to overcome the sadness of the loss of her father and the hardship of adapting to a new environment following that loss. "Eight Cousins" is one of Alcott's most loved tales which can be enjoyed by readers both young and old alike. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and after spending some time in Boston, died in Concord, Massachusetts.

The energy and independent spirit she had in her childhood stayed with her throughout her life and led her to take on various jobs to financially support her family. In 1854, she published her first book, Flower Fables, followed by more than thirty novels and story collections. However, her name would always be linked to Little Women, a novel she wrote between May and July 1868 at the request of her publishers.
