Stephen (havan) | 330 comments Not long ago I read

Little Men  by Louisa May Alcott Little Men

and I see now that it's combined with
Little Men (Little Women #2) by Louisa May Alcott Little Men and many other versions, some abridged, some not.

I understand that ADAPTATIONS should not be combined with original works but where should the line be drawn in this case?

Should all the abridged versions EACH have their own entry with only the unabridged versions combined?

I'm a bit unclear.
