TIL that originally Edgar Allen Poe didn't have a raven saying "Nevermore," it was a parrot. He needed a bird that could repeat the word over and over, and a parrot fit the bill. However, a parrot wasn't melancholy enough, so he swapped in a raven and the rest is history.

"Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott was published on this day in 1868. Or at least half of it was. The first half was put out with only 2000 copies and nobody expected much. But those copies sold out quickly. The second half came out the next year and became a critical and commercial success.

T.S. Eliot was born on this day in 1888. He would go on to write "The Waste Land" and the screenplay for 2019's "Cats". (It's possible that some of the above is not totally accurate.)

Today is Agatha Christie's birthday! Born in 1890, she would become the best-selling novelist of all time, selling over 2 *billion* books! She also created the longest continuous-running play of all time, "The Mousetrap," which has been in production since 1952.
