There were the absurdly delightful Rollo Books — absurdly delightful, because written in that didactic, condescending tone that ought to have repelled — and the ever-enchanting fairy tales of the Grimm brothers, and the splendid Arabian Nights (in wisely abridged form), and Robinson Crusoe, and The Swiss Family Robinson, and Miss Edge- worth's stories for children — some of them not half- bad reading, forty years ago — and a goodly num- ber of other books that, either by design or accident, made, a strong appeal to wide-eyed youth.	cache/mdp.39015031048047-05.txt	txt/mdp.39015031048047-05.txt
