I've started this page, but it will require more formal formatting. thistlechick 21:32, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

• I cleaned up this article and wikified it. I had to remove a few sentences because they applied to Jewett, not The Country of the Pointed Firs. This article also makes some claim which, as they are now, seem to reflect the POV of the author of this article. If these opinions can be attributed to notable people/literary critics (especially by use of quotes), the credibility of this article will greatly improve. Also, it should obviously nbe lengthened and more detail about the plot, setting etc should be added.--Hraefen 01:49, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
