Eight Cousins 
By Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) 


This is the story of Rose Campbell, a rich but lonely and sickly girl who has been recently orphaned 
and sent to live with her maiden aunts. When Rose’s guardian, Uncle Alec, returns from abroad he 
takes over her care. Through his unorthodox theories about child-rearing and her exposure to the 
exploits of her seven male cousins and numerous aunts, Rose becomes happier and healthier. At the 
end of a year, she is given a choice of which relative she is to stay with. Whom will she choose? 


This is an unabridged recording of Louisa May Alcott’s classic work, originally published in 1874.
