In your excellent post on the\nsimilarities between THB and LITTLE, BIG, there was one you missed,\niirc.  The protagonist of THB is named Enan Bradford.  Smoky Barnable's\nreal first name, with which he signs his letter to Santa, is Evan\n(\"Letters to Santa, II, 4, p. 166 of the Bantam trade paperback). So the\nprotagonists are Evan Barnable and Enan Bradford."

Do we have evidence that his dad called him Smoky, and that\nSmoky is what the \"S\" stands for; or is Smoky just his hippie handle?\n(When I think of his family I just remember his five uncles and the way he\nand his dad would move from one uncle's house to the other . . . states\nbeginning with the letter I, that whole thing.)\n\n=mantis="
