Illustrated by
James Stevenson.
Grandaddy's Place (1987), Grandaddy and Janetta (1993), and Grandaddy and Janetta Together (1995) are all included in this new, smaller volume. The full-color art has been converted to black and white, many of the smaller illustrations are missing, and the full-page art has been shrunk. The stories are unchanged, however, and while this edition is not as effective as the originals, it still contains some outstanding writing. Reviews 11/87, 5/93, 5/95.
