I didn't read Treasure Island as a child either, but it is on TBR, and I'm bumping it up due to your review. I've found other "children's" books that I loved MUCH more as an adult...The Call of the Wild for instance, since you mention Jack London. Nice reveiw, lovely edition of verses.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108789532345790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-80404726531450214562021-12-14T03:31:50.949-08:002021-12-14T03:31:50.949-08:00Thanks for leaving your link on my classics club s...Thanks for leaving your link on my classics club spin about <a href="https://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2021/11/highsmith-patricia-talented-mr-ripley.html" rel="nofollow">The Talented Mr. Ripley</a>.<br /><br />How nice that you could combine two challenges. I often try to do that. And I also sometimes make a collage of different book covers. Loved that.<br /><br />I read <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2016/04/stevenson-robert-louis-treasure-island.html" rel="nofollow">Treasure Island</a> a couple of years ago and really liked it.<br /><br />I am happy to have met you. We seem to have a lot of books in common. So, thanks again for your visit.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-40406284118765080092021-12-13T23:09:21.378-08:002021-12-13T23:09:21.378-08:00That note is lovely!

So many children's books today take place in school or in a suburb.
