Quite often I like the UK cover for a book better than the US cover. Why are they different? In some cases the title of the book is even different.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-57189372458969883132009-02-08T19:41:00.000-05:002009-02-08T19:41:00.000-05:00I'd give a lot to have my early pb copy of LW with...I'd give a lot to have my early pb copy of LW with KH and the others on the cover. Jean Parker as Beth just personified her, I thought, and the woman who played Meg was perfect beyond words - I looked her up - Frances Dee. Joan Bennett as Amy was fine, but honestly it's the others whose faces on my cover I remember all these years later. Coincidentally, Staci, I just changed my blog header today and one of the books on the shelf is my other childhood copy of LW which my mom gave me when I was 11. I'm so happy I still have that one because she wrote inside it.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-1987592658243637402009-02-08T16:00:00.000-05:002009-02-08T16:00:00.000-05:00I haven't read little women in years.

My edition has a drawing of the girls all gathered around the piano, but not one of the ones you pictured here.<BR/><BR/>Love the book, but HATE the movie. I don't usually like movies made from books, and I wasn't impressed with the Winona Ryder version. Although I haven't seen the version you mention. When I was in junior high or high school, my mom took my sister and I to see a stage play of the book. Now THAT was cool.Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06867226903227387373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-35704440069197834112009-02-08T01:04:00.000-05:002009-02-08T01:04:00.000-05:00Thanks for the covers.

I'll have to look for the Katherine Hepburn version. <BR/><BR/>I tend to care for books with movie covers on them and will go out of my way to buy the one without it, even if it costs more--most of the time anyway. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I pick up a book in the bookstore to take a closer look because of a cover that catches my eye. I think it's natural to be influenced at least a little by presentation. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-24782222186693185542009-02-07T23:47:00.000-05:002009-02-07T23:47:00.000-05:00I love Little Women!
