Most of you would know of Louisa May Alcott as the author of "Little Women" but come to find out that she also wrote a book named "Eight Cousins". Mrs. Alan had a copy of it that she inherited from her grandmother, and she finally pulled it out to read it. Turns out that the setting is in Scotland, though it's a very inaccurate, and "Americanized" portrayal.

At any rate, one of the editions of the book has illustrations by one Clara Hurd. I was going to scan the cover but someone has already done it for me.



I thought some of you might enjoy that... It's "Kilts in the media"...taken to a somewhat archaic...what...level?
