Survives the Test of Time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Thirty years after first reading this book, I still recall the milk teeth carefully kept in a special box. The imagery and characterization stay with you - they echo down the years. I found my old copy last month when cleaning out some old boxes; I set it aside, and read it this week. The book surpassed my memory of the book.
