Eight Cousins (Version 2)
Louisa May Alcott
Read by Maria Therese
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. (Summary from Wikipedia and Maria Therese) (6 hr 59 min)
