Illustrated abridged classics from the 80s
I’m curious if anyone has heard of a series of illustrated abridged classics from the 80s. I wish I still had this set , a series of small (5″ square) paperbacks that was available in B.Dalton (a subsidiary of Barnes & Noble). It was my first introduction to a number of great tales, including Robin Hood, Moby Dick, Heidi, Sherlock Holmes, Treasure Island, Edgar Allen Poe (Tale of the House of Usher, The Cask of Amontillado and The Gold Bug) and others. What made it fun was an illustration every couple of pages, something that I think would very much interest M as I’ve been keen on reading him classics lately (we’re currently working on Treasure Island). I would LOVE to find the old series again - Googling & Ebaying has failed me so far. Hoping someone out there remembers and maybe knows where to find them.
