I remember talking about it.I think any boy that read it would like it.

I never heard of any boy who read any of these books, while my friends and I devoured them.

Lucky, lucky Mina!

I only learned TODAY of a sequel to Eight Cousins! (can’t wait to read it!)

Parshall Thu, 18 Nov 2010 19:02:16 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=9660#comment-32631 Oh, I know and love the Peppers! I read and collected their stories when I was a kid (go, Phronsie!), and wish I still had them all.

I just read the line above the Alcott and Peppers books as being a divider between the boys’ section and those others.

Let’s see …

Little Women
Little Men
Jo’s Boys
Eight Cousins
Rose in Bloom
Old-Fashioned Girl
Under the Lilacs

Those I’m sure would be among the eight — Jack and Jill, maybe, as the eighth? Shawl Straps? Not sure which would have made the cut for that eighth slot. Um, I was a LMA fan, too, evidently, to have those titles come so easily to mind!

The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew and the other eleven titles in the series? I wonder why they are recommended for boys and young men, though, along with the eight Alcott books (yes they are all good, but which ones are they?)?

I’m guessing that Hans Brinker from the boys’ list is still available in some edition or other, but I’ve never heard of the others at all.

Not so with the ones from the boys’ list.
