  • Long before "Classics Illustrated", Wyeth's wonderful pictures encouraged youngsters to test their reading skills on real books. I know of at least one family where the parent, a single mother, gathered her children together after dinner to share a chapter of one or another of the black-bound Scribner's classics. Their favorites were, I think, the Robert Louis Stevenson volumes. Thanks, Defiance.

  • @lenjkling Glad you enjoyed it. This one is my favorite, too.
