BETTER THAN TV
J. M. Dent and Sons, the London publishers, have received the following letter from the United States: Gentlemen, “I have read part of your copy of ‘Treasure Island.’ I have found out more than I had known from the television series. “If I’m not mistaken most of the TV production did not have Captain and his death and Pew “I have read up to the point when the crew has spotted the island. I’m look-
ing forward to reading more exciting adventures. Yours truly, A. . . H . . :• “P.S.: In our class we write many letters to authors of the books we read. I know that Robert Louis Stevenson is no longer living, so I’ve written to you, instead." “We were delighted and touched by this unexpected letter—and it’s nice to know that one boy found the book had something that TV missed," Dents comment in their newsletter.
