The Boxcar Children: Difference between revisions

* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Benny is Sanguine, Violet is Melancholic, Jessie is Phlegmatic, and Henry, is Choleric.

* [[Name's the Same]]: Henry James Alden is named after his grandfather, and in the first book uses his first two names as a pseudonym -- it doesn't help them hide from the grandfather.

* [[Outlived Its Creator]]: ''The Boxcar Children'' series had only 19 books by its original creator, Gertrude Chandler Warner. Then, over a decade after her death, Albert Whitman of ''Albert Whitman & Company'' resurrected the series, producing over '''''100''''' more books due to reinterest (including a kid-friendly cookbook). Unsurprisingly, after Warner stopped writing them, [[Canon Dis Continuity|continuity went right out the window.]] Notably, a couple pets introduced in her later books suddenly disappear, and sadly the storytelling quality does, too.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]
