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?

The Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer of Louisa May Alcott illuminates the world of Little Women and its author. Since its publication in 1868–69, Little Women, perhaps America’s most beloved children’s classic, has been handed down from mother to daughter for generations. It has been translated into more than fifty languages and inspired six films, four television shows, a Broadway musical, an opera, and a web series. This lavish, four-color edition features over 220 curated illustrations, including stills from the films, stunning art by Norman Rockwell, and iconic illustrations by children’s-book illustrators Alice Barber Stevens, Frank T. Merrill, and Jessie Wilcox Smith. Renowned Alcott scholar John Matteson brings his expertise to the book, to the March family it creates, and to the Alcott family who inspired it all. Through numerous photographs taken in the Alcott family home expressly for this edition—elder daughter Anna’s wedding dress, the Alcott sisters’ theater costumes, sister May’s art, and Abba Alcott’s recipe book—readers discover the extraordinary links between the real and the fictional family. Matteson’s annotations evoke the once-used objects and culture of a distant but still-relevant time, from the horse-drawn carriages to the art Alcott carefully placed in her story to references to persons little known today. His brilliant introductory essays examine Little Women’s pivotal place in children’s literature and tell the story of Alcott herself—a tale every bit as captivating as her fiction.

Rose Campbell has been orphaned and must go live with her uncle, but luckily, she is now near numerous cousins and aunts to help her through this difficult time! Privileged Rose Campbell is a young girl of Scottish descent who is barely 13 when she becomes orphaned and has to live with her Uncle Alec while adjusting to life without her dear father and a mother she never knew. Click here to see the rest of this review When Rose arrives in Boston where Uncle Alec lives, though, he is not there to greet her due to his busy life as a doctor who is often away at sea. Instead, her Aunt Plenty welcomes her but spoils her with strong coffee for breakfast, pills for her supposed anxiety, and too much coddling. Although much family, including numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins are nearby, at first, Rose's only entertainment are her interactions with the housemaid, Phoebe, who is also an orphan. The girls happen upon one another in the great mansion when Rose hears Phoebe's great talent for singing as the young maid goes about her work. Despite the fact that Phoebe is older than Rose by a few years, Rose tutors the girl and teaches her to read and write. When Uncle Alec finally arrives, he goes against Aunt Plenty and the other Campbell women by allowing Rose to dress simply, stop taking her daily pills, begin eating hearty meals that don't include coffee and its ensuing headaches, and start to exercise daily.
