Entry includes the headings of: Plot, Character Descriptions, About the Collection, About the Author, External Links and See Also. These headings provide a general understanding of Evelyn Sharp's literature and developed representation of the fairy tale. The information is relevant and links are provided for further research.

Information on specific themes and literary criticism for The Professor of Practical Jokes or All the Way to Fairyland, would be much appreciated.Nelfred92 (talk) 05:20, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello group, your link to the author is to the wikipedia page of Evelyn Genevieve "Sharpie" Sharp, an american aviator and not the British child's author. Here is the link to the proper wikipedia page of your author. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Sharp_(suffragist)

I suggest adding more detail information as to who is the main character, flat character, round, dynamic, etc. This will help get a better idea of the characters used in the short story. Nessyb (talk) 00:40, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest maybe switching the headings around to put About the Author closer to the Plot and Character Descriptions! (Spring51111 (talk) 04:27, 15 February 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks for the inputs! I moved the heading About the Author under Plot which flows much nicer! We are also working on the character descriptions! Nelfred92 (talk) 23:15, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that you consider a change in order of the the table of contents. If you feel it is necessary to have a description of characters it would be beneficial to introduce them before the summary so the reader gets an intuition of what is happening sooner. Though, you could totally elminate this section if you simply introduced the characters in sufficient detail, in the summary section. MermaiddolphinOGT (talk)
