Description

Rose Campbell, a lonely and sickly girl who has been recently orphaned and must now reside with her maiden great aunts, the matriarchs of her wealthy Boston family. When Rose's guardian, Uncle Alec, returns from abroad, he takes over her care. Through his unorthodox theories about child-rearing, she becomes happier and healthier while finding her place in her family of seven boy cousins and numerous aunts and uncles.

Author

Louisa May Alcott is a renowned American author and poet, best known for her semi-autobiographical novel Little Women. She was a prodigious writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and was an active participant in the Transcendentalist movement. Her works were greatly influenced by the social change that occurred during the 19th century in America, particularly in regards to women's rights.
