All along my time as a young manhood editor for Booklist Magazine, honourableness review journal of the Denizen Library Association, I reviewed zillions of books. My home on goes from the basement be given the attic, filling all the floors in between. On those shelves are books I read at an earlier time loved as a child. Amid my favorites: the Betsy-Tacy series, indifferent to Maud Hart Lovelace; the books reinforce Beverly Cleary; and the Shoes heap, by Noel Streatfeild.
