I figured both of my books out!

Edit: "A Morgan for Melinda" is the first title I was looking for. "The Children's Hour" is the second title.

Good times...

1. Was the second set red? Each one about an 1 1/2 thick?

Sounds very familiar to one I had.

Found the complete set at a garage sale for aout $10 or something. Mid 70's or so.

Don't remember the name though.

Illustrated Childrens Classics maybe?

2. I think this is it:

3. Yep. That's it.

I left it at home. But had wanted to keep them for my own kids someday.

My mom gave them away. And to a family that weren't really "book people" if you know what I mean.

I'm almost certain they ended up scribbled on and shredded. :cry:

Those were some of the best collected stories I've ever seen.

And stories for a wide range of ages too.

4. I thought for SURE it was THESE:

Junior FREAKIN Classics!

I LOVED these:

5. That looks great too.

Are there any collections like these still printed anymore?

It's hard to find collections of short stories in any form, really.

I probably read every story in the collection I had at least twice.
