Changed the title line because I think we've exhausted our vitriol on the Enron stooge (A. Roy merits a sad sigh, not vitriol)
An enron stooge would hardly have used a .ru domain for their work Its intended as very obvious, heavy handed satire
I have a copy of *To Kill a Mockingbird* (alas, a new one) but I would love to find copies of - *A Tree grows in Brooklyn*, Betty Smith
I see this is available, used, on amazon. A last resort I guess.
- *Scruffy, *Paul Gallico (much better than the slightly forced Mrs. Harris stories, not that those weren't good in their day and age)
The mrs.harris stuff was not bad at all Another paul gallico you might want to try is Jennie. Kid who gets hit by a car, goes into a coma and his soul suddenly becomes a stray cat, which meets another cat called jennie, goes on various adventures .. and he's killed fighting a big bully of a cat, and brought back into life as the kid Not bad reading, for such a convoluted plot Or another animal story - but this one is RAW FEELING. Bob, Son of Battle by Alfred Ollivant. That's not your average Enid Blyton Shadow the Sheepdog / My Friend Flicka style of dog. A dog and a master that everybody repeat everybody hates. First published 1898 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob,_Son_of_Battle
