Here is one of Louisa May Alcott's most famous and beloved books, the story of a little orphan girl named Rose who went to live with her gentle, elderly great-aunts when her father died. 

Life at the Aunt-hill, the nickname for the dwellings of her six aunts, seemed pretty dull to Rose and for a long time she fretted and pined for the happy home she remembered. When Rose's dear uncle, Dr. Alec, returned from Calcutta and saw what an unhappy creature she had become, he begged the aunts for a chance to bring up the girl under his direction.

Under Dr, Alec's wise and kindly guidance, Rose flowered into a lovable, happy girl who enjoyed many grand adventures with her seven lively boy cousins and her good friend, sweet Phebe Moore. And at the end of the year when Dr. Alec's experiment ended and Rose was free to choose her future home, she finally selected the person she had come to know and love best from all of the group of kind people who had befriended her. 

Everyone who has read Little Women will enjoy this simple, heartwarming tale.
