Description:
Eight Cousins
A recently orphaned girl meets her extended family—including seven rambunctious cousins.
Thirteen-year-old Rose Campbell never knew her mother, and the death of her father leaves her reeling and hopelessly lonely. She’s sent to live with her maiden great aunts, the matriarchs of her father’s wealthy Boston family who she’s never met. The elderly women’s quiet household suits Rose’s mourning, but the arrival of her appointed guardian, Uncle Alec, challenges the status quo.
With Alec as her guide, Rose is properly introduced to the other residents of “Aunt-Hill,” including Alec’s four sisters and their sons. Having so many relations overwhelms Rose at first. Her dour Aunt Myra convinces her she has a fragile constitution while fashionable Aunt Clara turns Rose’s head with stylish clothes. And the collective energy of male cousins ranging from age six to sixteen is more than she knows how to handle. But Uncle Alec’s steady commitment to seeing Rose flourish helps her find her footing and grow to love her eccentric family. She even “adopts” Great Aunt Plenty and Peace’s housemaid, Phebe, as her sister.
Surrounded by people who love her, Rose slowly but surely goes from sickly and timid to healthy, active, and bold as she learns to keep her father’s memory close while setting a course for a happy future.
Good Wives
The tale of the March sisters continues in the beloved sequel to Little Women, which picks up three years later as Meg is preparing for her wedding, Jo attempts to launch her literary career, Beth still struggles to regain her health, and Amy begins traveling the world with their aunt. But obstacles stand between the girls and their dreams, and they’re forced to confront unimaginable heartache. Through love, perseverance, and family, together they overcome the hardships to find happiness.
Little Men
Following the sequel Good Wives, the third book of the series picks up where the story left off, as the now-married Jo has opened a school for boys in her late aunt’s estate of Plumfield—one where pillow fights are allowed and the boys are encouraged to be themselves. But when orphaned street musician Nat Blake arrives and the boys’ mischief-making gets out of control, Jo and her family’s lives are turned upside down. Funny and heartwarming, this third installment of the Little Women series furthers the story of the March sisters while introducing new and just as captivating characters.
Little Women
The quintessential American story, Little Women captured readers’ hearts right from the start. A bestseller from the time it was originally published in 1868, it is the tale of the March sisters: Meg, Beth, Jo, and Amy. The four girls couldn’t be more different, but with their father fighting in the Civil War and their mother supporting the family, the sisters will have to rely on each other as they grow up and grow together, experiencing love, loss, and the importance of family. Louisa May Alcott recreates her own family’s dramatic, comic, and sometimes tragic experiences in this heartfelt novel that has been celebrated and shared for generations—and this unabridged edition will continue to be shared for years to come.
Jo's Boys
Ten years after Jo opened a school for boys, the little men have grown up and left Plumfield. Now college students, sailors, and musicians, they each explore the world and try to find their place in it. But as they encounter love, disappointment, tragedy, and intrigue, the boys rely on Jo to help them through the challenges they face. Inspired by Alcott’s own experiences, Jo’s Boys brings the classic Little Women series to a close, completing the story that has inspired numerous film adaptations and that touches readers’ hearts as much today as at its original publication.
