The library here had both versions. The one I took out is the one with I. on the cover, funny hat, etc. The one that appears up at the top of this page is a newer edition, published in 1995. What I didn't realize is that he wrote this in the what, early 60's? and his mother brought it to Percy in the late 70's, I think. Hmm..
Yep, there are a lot of cultural details, both from geography and time, that are a bit cryptic to me. But I've only read a few pages thus far.
Don't anyone give anything away just yet.....
