 Not what I thought February 22, 2007

I like the big print but not the stories inside the book. I was looking more for Joyce James and freshman college lit.

I ordered the large-print version for my 96 year old grandmother. I liked that the stories were short stories, as her attention span comes and goes, and certainly the large print is what she needed to be able to see the words. I think that she will appreciate the old fashioned writing and language of the book as well. I highly recommend this for a senior citizen. It makes a nice gift.
