      I agree - excellent production. Wish it had been available when the book was required reading in one of my high school English Lit classes.

      I think I was 'Forced', to read it in Grade 9 English,but was really pleased when I actually enjoyed it! Still resented High School taking me away from my comics collection! Ha! Ha! Actually went on to read and enjoy as many of Sutcliffs' books as I could find! - Ron.
