(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Harvey Chan. Dickens's parable concerns a traveler who comes across a child and plays with him for a while, then loses sight of the child but immediately comes upon a boy with whom he learns, and so on through the stages of life. The sentimental conceit seems dated, but adults may enjoy the handsome presentation and Chan's muted oil-pastel illustrations.
