The Author is quite aware of the defects of this little story, many of which were unavoidable, as it first appeared serially. But, as Uncle Alecs experiment was intended to amuse the young folks, rather than suggest educational improvements for the consideration of the elders, she trusts that these short-comings will be overlooked by the friends of the Eight Cousins, and she will try to make amends in a second volume, which shall attempt to show The Rose in Bloom.L. M. A.

Life with seven boy cousins isn't quite what Rose expected. Left an orphan after her father's death, Rose Campbell is sent to live at the "Aunt Hill" with her six aunts and seven rowdy boy cousins. For someone who is used to a girl's boarding school, it all seems pretty overwhelming. Her guardian, Uncle Alec, makes her eat healthy things like oatmeal, and even tries to get her to give up her pretty dresses for drab, sensible clothes. Will Rose ever get used to her uncle's crazy notions and all her noisy relatives? Complete and unabridged.

Amy, la piu frivola; Beth, la piu tenera; Jo, la piu impulsiva (e la piu amata); Meg, la piu saggia. Quasi non hanno il tempo di essere bambine e ragazze, queste quattro sorelle nell'America della Guerra Civile, tanto ci si aspetta da loro: devono essere pazienti, perseveranti, operose, secondo i desideri del padre, impegnato al fronte, e della madre, sereno severo modello. Vincere i difetti e praticare le virtu e il loro compito quotidiano. Ma per fortuna a scompigliare il ritmo di questa faticosa ginnastica dell'anima c'e il disordine della vita: i capricci, le zuffe, le ambizioni, i balli e i limoncini, i guanti macchiati o smarriti, i ratti domestici e le macchie d'inchiostro, gli esperimenti in cucina, la gelosia, l'amore.
