 ROSE IN BLOOM

 A Sequel to “Eight Cousins”

 By Louisa May Alcott

 

Preface

            As authors may be supposed to know better than anyone else what they intended to do when writing a book, I beg leave to say that there is no moral to this story. Rose is not designed for a model girl, and the Sequel was simply written in fulfillment of a promise, hoping to afford some amusement, and perhaps here and there a helpful hint, to other roses getting ready to bloom.

            L. M. Alcott

            September 1876
