What I recall reading was in fact short story stuff, borderline
children's, but quite funny. Much of the most enduring literature
of our lifetime has been written for a quite young audience.

Bear in mind that the Ginn readers aren't exactly typical of
children's literature. To claim such would be to open yourself to
the charge of being "the biggest blame fool in the jungle of Nool."

In my circles I seldom run into such: I do find people (often
in the audience when I perform in peculiar out-of-the-way venues,
who are pathetically grateful that they can be entertained
without having to drive twenty miles to the big city) who have
never traveled more than one town boundary past their own. Quite
interesting.
