[edit] Weber version?
Should The Little Women by Katharine Weber be mentioned? It is after all an alternative version of Little Women.--Kristjan Wager 13:17, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Good Wives"?
I wonder if this novel ends in the declaration of Prof Baher to Jo or if it covers some of the story of their marriage. i neaver have read the "Good Wives" novel.

[edit] Beth...
Can we mention that in the end that Beth dies? It would be considered as a spoiler. Should we put a spoiler tag instead in the characters list? HoneyBee 02:40, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with putting it in, and the tag just below the characters section header. — Jeandré, 2005-12-05t11:28z
[edit] Amy beautiful?
Amy being "beautiful" - the books clearly state the Amy is not beautiful, not as a child, young woman, or adult. Instead she is described as graceful. Should this be changed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.87.240 (talk • contribs) 2006-06-17t00:21:40z
[edit] Bible Christmas Present
According to the notes in the version of "Little Women" I am currently reading (from Oxford World Classics), the Christmas present they get isn't the New Testament, but a copy of "Pilgrim's Progress".
However, I just wanted to check this with other people before changing the article itself... --Ophias 13:02, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. Rereading it at the moment, we're not told what the book they get is. It's only described as "that lovely old story of the best life ever lived", "your guidebook", and so on. Do we know if Alcott ever identified the book?
- However, that the book was "Pilgrim's Progress" is a common claim in notes, certainly, so well worthy of being in the article. Vashti 13:19, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
It's definitely Pilgrim's Progress and I've gone ahead and made the change. Evidence: The chapter titles are all references to PP; the novel is threaded throughout with allusions to it; and here are a couple of quotations-- "She knew it very well, for it was that beautiful old story of the best life ever lived, and Jo felt that it was a true guidebook for any pilgrim going on a long journey." - Chapter 2; "'Rather a rough road for you to travel, my little pilgrims, especially the latter part of it. But you have got on bravely, and I think the burdens are in a fair way to tumble off very soon,' said Mr. March, looking with fatherly satisfaction at the four young faces gathered round him. - Chapter 22; "'I read in Pilgrim's Progress today how, after many troubles, Christian and Hopeful came to a pleasant green meadow where lilies bloomed all year round, and there they rested happily, as we do now, before they went on to their journey's end,' answered Beth, adding, as she slipped out of her father's arms and went to the instrument, 'It's singing time now, and I want to be in my old place. I'll try to sing the song of the shepherd boy which the Pilgrims heard. I made the music for Father, because he likes the verses.'" - Chapter 22. --Ibis3 01:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Little Children (film) disambiguation?

[edit] Ages and Dates
When does the book say it takes place? What time period does it cover? How old are the girls in the book? -69.87.203.44 12:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh hush, just add it in if you know. ~ Otterpops 12:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The "Carrolls"
The main article identifies "Aunt & Uncle Carrol" as people who take Amy to Europe. This is incorrect; Aunt March takes Amy to Europe, falls ill and dies there, which prompts Laurie to go collect Amy, marry her, and bring her home.
Does anyone know who Aunt and Uncle Carrol are? I have no recollection of them in this novel. BellTinkR (talk) 00:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
