Episode 330-A Golden Story

In 1942, Simon & Schuster, in partnership with Western Publishing, released a new book series for kids. The initial print run of one-and-a-half million books sold out in five months, including one of the initial twelve titles that became and continues to be the number one bestselling children’s book of all time in the United States. In this episode, we talk about that book series, and about the magic of books and reading.
