Talk:The Littlest Elf
Where It is Mentioned
[edit]Could someone clarify what "the elf was an unimportant part of the book" actually means? Does it mean that the imaginary book was unimportant in The Village? --ArtifexCrastinus 22:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, the book played an unimportant role in the book, as it didn't influence the plot. I assume Snicket wanted to mock that particular kind of fairy tales that are overly upbeat and whimsical.--Orthologist 16:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Extremely Minor?
[edit]Extremely minor probably doesn't merit its own page. Does anybody think we should merge this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Orthologist
- Agree in principle, but where would you merge it to? Its appearances span multiple books and the movie; splitting it between those would be confusing, so it would probably just end up being deleted. Besides, apparently there's plenty of material on it.81.132.183.220 10:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's most major appearance is The Vile Village. I think it should be merged there. — The Man in Question (gesprec) · (forðung) 11:37, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Nick.com
[edit]Someone's added a reference to the title of The End being given away on Nick.com in Sebald Code on a page about the Littlest Elf. However, I'm pretty sure we'd have heard about it at the time if that was so, and the only reference I can find online to anything like this is when there was a Littlest Elf puzzle on Nick.com in connection with TheNamelessNovel.com for The Penultimate Peril (not The End). So if anyone can remember this, or put a link on it, I'd appreciate it. 81.132.183.220 13:56, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
