Although this NE author was considered brilliant, he could also be very lazy when his studies didn't interest him. He finally promised his father "to give up writing poetry and attend to his books." Thank goodness he didn't keep that promise! 😂 Who is it?

I remember reading that James Russell Lowell's father thought his son was not serious enough about his studies. Perhaps it is Lowell?

I really just guessed after I remembered that Lowell's father didn't think he was serious about school!

It was a good guess, Pamelia! Lowell never entered my mind!

[Pamela]

I have a quiz question ready. In keeping with the Holiday Season...

In Little Women, each of the girls gave Marmie a gift for Christmas. Name each of the gifts and the name of the character who gave that gift to Marmie. 🎄🎁🎄

Hmmm...I may be able to do this! Meg gave her gloves, Beth handkerchiefs, Jo shoes, and Amy a (large) bottle of cologne. I'm pretty sure that's it, but I haven't read it in a while.

[Pamela]

Yes, Dorothy! You are correct!!!!! In record time, too!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS DOROTHY!!!

Yes, you surely do know your Louisa May Alcott! She has always been my favorite American author. My parents gave me a copy of Little Women for Christmas when I was in second grade and I have loved Alcott's books ever since! I was reading Alcott, Twain and others when my friends were reading Dr. Suess and The Peanuts! I was fortunate to have a family who encouraged my love of reading!🙏

Meggy,
How is our Snow Maiden?

[Ruth]

Emma,
Have you honed your basic skills?

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Ruth wrote: "Emma,

I think so, for the most part...Dorry would probably disagree...😁🤣

[Ruth]

Dorry has her standards.😉😄
Do you have an idea for your first project?

[Joanna]

Ruth wrote: "Meggy,

🤣 I'm doing fine. How are you? I'm reading the most delightful book right now that I think you would love! 😂🤗

Ruth wrote: "Dorry has her standards.😉😄

Not really...Dorry's given me some suggestions...but I'm too scared to try any. 🙈🤣🤣 I know I won't finish whatever I start. 🤣

[Ruth]

I'm so pleased to see you too, and glad you are well.
I am too, thankfully.
Which Book? 👂

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Hey Meggy, why don't you tell Ruth what you did to me today? 😏😳😳🤣🤣🤣

[Joanna]

Ruth wrote: "I'm so pleased to see you too, and glad you are well.

Glad you are doing well! 🤗 Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women by George MacDonald. I guess it was very influential in converting C.S. Lewis to Christianity. Since reading 'At the Back of the North Wind', I am hooked! 😄

My dear Emma. take advantage of Dorry's patience.
Knitting is very forgiving, just jump in and try it out,
you may just surprise your self. No fear.
