...might also be credible if Singer had not just published Stories for Children, a collection of 36 works for the young, dating back to Zlateh the Goat in 1966. Without the original illustrations, his fictions stand revealed as something more than mere bedtime stories.

Yes, Mary Travers did all that, but don't let the slip fool you. She's survived those turbulent times, idealism and political activism intact, with a new agenda...
