Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight Cousins (1875) is a novel by American author, feminist, and abolitionist Louisa May Alcott. Based on her experience of being raised by a father dedicated to education reform, and grounded in her radical beliefs on the role of women in society, Eight Cousins is a masterpiece of children’s literature that explores themes of family, death, and perseverance. Rose Campbell is a young girl when her parents pass away. Orphaned, she is taken to the Boston home of her great aunts, the Campbell sisters, who raise her while awaiting the arrival of their brother Alec, Rose’s legal guardian. An heiress, Rose must adjust to the rhythms of New England high society while also learning that the limitations placed on women—which her uncle disdains—must not be allowed to restrain her. When Alec returns from business overseas, she is introduced to her male uncles and cousins. Although she is nervous at first—and still in mourning for her affectionate father— she soon finds herself appreciative of her new male role model, who educates her, rejects the oppressive women’s fashion of the day, and encourages her to take control of her life and fortune. Although her more conservative aunts are first wary of Alec’s influence, they too grow to understand his moral and political principles, creating the harmony necessary for Rose’s upbringing and development into a capable young woman. Although less popular than Alcott’s “March Family Saga,” Eight Cousins is a brilliant work that captures the power of love and community over prejudice and convention, and—like each of the author’s works—has long been read and adored by children and adults alike. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Louisa May Alcott’s Eight Cousins is a classic of American literature and children’s fiction reimagined for modern readers.

Book excerpt: Eight Cousins.Louisa May Alcott.Eight Cousins (1875) is a happy story about a sad girl, thirteen-year-old Rose Campbell. Orphaned and weak, Rose is on the verge of tears in the book's first glimpse. She is a "low-spirited butterfly," as author Louisa May Alcott describes her. But Rose has big surprises coming -- for one, the appearance of her seven boy cousins of "all ages, all sizes." Another is the supposed boy-hater's discovery of how much she likes this "flock of tall lads," and even their bagpipes. The arrival of Rose's unconventional guardian, Uncle Alec, sets the stage for a summer of fun and learning. Alcott hides the book's lessons is a whirl of big-family commotion, but she is ever the moralist. Eight Cousins teaches Rose (and Alcott's readers) to eat right, exercise, and be ready to sacrifice for the sake of friendship. Rose's birthday signals a new beginning for the once-pensive little girl -- and one more surprise: that Rose might feel more than friendship for one boy in particular.

Book excerpt: Rose sat all alone in the big best parlor, with her little handkerchief laid ready to catchthe first tear, for she was thinking of her troubles, and a shower was expected. She hadretired to this room as a good place in which to be miserable; for it was dark and still, full ofancient furniture, sombre curtains, and hung all around with portraits of solemn oldgentlemen in wigs, severe-nosed ladies in top-heavy caps, and staring children in little bobtailed coats or short-waisted frocks. It was an excellent place for woe; and the fitful springrain that pattered on the window-pane seemed to sob, "Cry away: I'm with you."Rose really did have some cause to be sad; for she had no mother, and had lately lost herfather also, which left her no home but this with her great-aunts. She had been with themonly a week, and, though the dear old ladies had tried their best to make her happy, theyhad not succeeded very well, for she was unlike any child they had ever seen, and they feltvery much as if they had the care of a low-spirited butterfly.They had given her the freedom of the house, and for a day or two she had amusedherself roaming all over it, for it was a capital old mansion, and was full of all manner ofodd nooks, charming rooms, and mysterious passages. Windows broke out in unexpectedplaces, little balconies overhung the garden most romantically, and there was a long upperhall full of curiosities from all parts of the world; for the Campbells had been sea-captainsfor generations.
