You know the story, but it’s so good it’s worth repeating: anyone who sends $29.95, the cost of Volume Two of The National Review Treasury of Classic Children’s Literature, will also receive, free and postpaid, The National Review Treasury of Classic Bedtime Stories and Queen Zixi of Ix. All three can be ordered Order here.

Now this might get me suspended, but I’m swiping a copy of Volume Two for my good pal Nick Willey, power forward on the National Review Raptors, which is holding its own (8-5 record) in the Milford (CT) Boys “Rec” Basketball League. Nick is a stalwart dude, a great American, and a Rock of Gibraltar under the boards. He never complains and always gives his all – Nick, for all you do, this book’s for you!
