I must have been somewhere around 9 yrs old when I got it because I read it during a week long visit with my paternal grandmother.
Our schools had yearly book fairs where I could buy a few books usually, money was usually tight for us. One year I wanted an Alfred Hitchcock book but we couldn't manage it. My older cousin and her boyfriend was with us and she said to go ask Marshall... being too sweet of a guy, he actually did buy it for me. I still have that book because I thought it was so incredibly nice of him.
