Rose in Bloom Author:Louisa M. Alcott "...I beg leave to say that there is no moral to this story. Rose is not ddesigned for a model girl: and the Sequel was simply written in fulfillment of a promise; hoping to afford some amusement, and perhaps ...a helpful hint to other roses getting ready to bloom." L.M. Alcott 1876 This old book was copyrighted in 1918.
