  9. Oh, I'm so curious to know what this book contains!:) Children's literature interests me a lot, because I'm a puppet theatre director and write plays and dramatizations of fairytales.
    I like very much this round card and especially its back side - it looks like a paprecut!

  13. Believe it or not, I've never read Little Women. *gasp* But I keep meaning to get to it - eventually. I'd love to have this copy. Maybe that would motivate me to FINALLY read it!

  14. My favorite book from childhood - I still read it - specially when I am sick - it's comforting to read the warm and familiar. I would so love to have this book. Thank you.

  17. My local branch of the library had the two book version of Little Women, and unbeknownst to me as a child they only had the first book. When I was a teen the movie with Christian Bale and Winona Ryder came out and much to my shock there was a lot more to the story than I knew. Since then I've reread the whole thing many, many times over, but I don't have my own copy to love.

  20. I, too, once had a deck of round cards. Though a unique shape and interesting for that aspect, they are notoriously difficult to shuffle in the traditional way...

    I loved Little Women when I was about 14...
