D'Aulaires books

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Thanks John & Allan.
The D'Aulaires look great. I'll be picking those up for sure.
We watched the Jim Henson Storyteller: Greek Myths recently and my son
loved them. I thought they might leave him cold. A few weeks later he
recounted the story of Icarus to me and said "he shoulda listened to his
father" all seriously. :D
These D'Aulaire books look great. There is a Troll one as well.
Thanks for the recommendations.
