Originally published in 1927, British Poet Laureate Masefield's engaging tale of pirates and treasure, witchcraft and adventure, beloved by children and adults, practically demands to be read aloud. Kay Harker, a mistreated orphan, is bored and alone save a few stuffed animals, until his great-grandfather appears from beyond the grave and sends him on an enchanted, dangerous mission.  (GBR792, $16.95)
