Excerpt from DawnBurton discovered the Great Terror, though he did not know it by that name until some days after ward. He knew only, to his surprise and distress, that the Treasure Island, given to him by his father for a birthday present, was printed in type so blurred and poor that he could scarcely read it.He said nothing, of course. In fact he shut the book very hastily, with a quick, sidewise look, lest his father should see and notice the imperfection of his gift.Poor father! He would feel so bad after he had taken all that pains and spent all that money and for something not absolutely necessary, too! And then to get cheated like that. For, of course, he had been cheated such horrid print that no body could read.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
