Another batch of Penguin Active Readers. Some really classic stories here including The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
The scene illustrated on the cover went through several revisions as the new-born Benjamin is going to be bathed by the nurse. This is an ELT book, and sensitivities about, for instance, not showing bare feet for readers in some countries, tested my own and the artist’s patience. It reminded me of having to leave out The Three Little Pigs from a children’s story book because of other (perceived?) sensitivities.
(This one was fun; there seemed to be a lot of illustrations involving fights).
