Remember hiding under the covers & being swept away by a fantastical tale while clutching a flashlight? Sure, it began with Dick & Jane, but soon moved on to the more sophisticated Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys, & before you knew it, the journey was out of this world with Tom Swift Jr. & his science-adventure sagas.
These illustrations & stories are here just as you remember them in Storybook Culture. Abundantly illustrated, this study in American culture tells the history of the stories, the authors, the illustrators, & the art that sold seven decades on the power of the imagination. This sentimental voyage is sure to evoke fond memories of childhood.
