(4) 1-3 Victor idolizes Harry Houdini. Unfortunately, Victor's invitation to visit Houdini's house falls on the same day Houdini dies, and Victor leaves with only a mysterious box given to him by Houdini's widow. Illustrated with dark-toned art, the elusive tale is more a mood piece than a fully developed story. This new edition includes appended photographs, sketches, and information about Selznick's research. Reading list.
