ghost,
I had this book. I was so sad that Mary got stuck in the hole! It didn't satisfy me that Mike and Mary got to stay in the cellar. I thought it was like jail and not at all happy the way the book made it out. I was cynical from WAY back!
Fun to relive. I've had others of these Golden books too. Really cool. Thanks for putting them up.
