1983 27th printing of the Dell hardcover of the 1957 story collection. This copy was from the collection of Berkeley High School, a couple towns north of here. By the sticker on the front cover, it originated from Econo-Clad Books in Topeka, Kansas. I found it today in the free books pile on the porch of Dimond Library.

Aside from loving shared books, my main passion in life is supporting the human rights work of my good friend, Anni Cyrus. 💖 💖 Her life story of survival as a childhood refugee is astounding, and quite moving!
