Lassie Come Home
The first appearance in paperback of the 1942 classic by Eric Knight, which has delighted successive generations of 'dog crazy' children (and adults). The tale of Lassie's trek from 'Scotland to find Joe Carraclough has been popularised and glamorized on film and television during the intervening years, besides being a consistent seller as a hardback. Judging by the reaction of the group of twelve-year-olds to their first hearing of the story, Lassie is still as popular with the youngsters of the eighties as she ever was with those in the forties. Lovely subdued chapter illustrations by Marguerite Kirmse, but a totally unimpressive cover.
