On one stall I found some American comics, in the Dell “Classics” series. This series was greatly prized among schoolboys. The comics were large (about A4 size), well drawn, and highly-coloured. Furthermore, the stories they told were exciting. They were our introduction to classic European and American literature. I remember reading, among many others, “Kidnapped”, “The Last of the Mohicans”, and Hawthorne’s “The House of the Seven Gables” (which was rather scary: “He shall have blood to drink!”)
