Eight Cousins (Kennebec Large Pring Perennial Favorites Collection)

Thirteen-year-old Rose Campbell has been cared for by her well-meaning but rather fussy aunts during the year since her father's death. When her legal guardian, Uncle Alex, returns from his world travels, Rose's pallor and listless, "ladylike" ways shock him. He proposes that he take charge of her education, health and life style for a year to try and make her life more wholesome and happy. Many amusing and touching incidents revolving around Rose's relationships with her seven boisterous but affectionate male cousins.
