A child wouldn't have been able to hold an unabridged, novelized book that contained all of those stories.  |
i think i was about 6 to 10 in school and all the well known stories were in this single volume as described above.
it was a small font and i think the book must must have been 200 to 300 pages.
the teacher was surprised i was reading it.
have you read or anyone else here read the full plays and can they confirm if they have shortened?
