And the "book" she probably read was published by Creative Education
(Mankato, MN), 1983. as part of their Creative Classic Short Stories
series. ISBN is 0871919648
BTW, that's a great series. The publisher took great short stories
and printed them as individual books. Most don't have very many
pages, lending them very well to the "I need a _short_ book" request
while sneakily exposing them great literature. I have a number in my
collection and would recommend them for both JH and HS.
