I love some of the great prices that Amazon resellers charge. This Roald Dahl collection was drastically reduced in price because the cardboard box was some wear. The books themselves have never been read.

I keep seeing stuff about Lord of the Flies going around

Obviously, the individual experiences of the people making the posts - re: teachers, lessons, the way they were forced to study the book - aren’t up for debate

but like, I feel that people might not have the whole...

No Raymond Carver?!

“All Summer in a Day” has been a favorite since I was in grade school and we were shown a film adaptation of the text.

Shortly before starting the illustrations, Sendak realized he did not know how to draw horses and, at the suggestion of his editor, changed the wild horses to the more ambiguous “Wild Things”, a term inspired by the Yiddish expression “vilde chaya” (“wild animals”), used to indicate boisterous children. [x]

He once said: “At first the book was to be called Where the Wild Horses Are, but when it became apparent to my editor I could not draw horses, she kindly changed the title to ‘Wild Things,’ with the idea that I could at the very least draw ‘a thing’! [x]
