The dedicated trawler of used-book stores will occasionally stumble upon a fat bound volume of one of the Edwardian children—s magazines, such as Chatterbox or St. Nicholas. Overstuffed with activities, puzzles, poems, prose tales, essays and beautiful drawings, these well-handled storehouses of prelapsarian juvenile fun evoke gilded summer afternoons of youthful bliss. Would it be possible to create such a volume for the jaded twenty-first century? Editors Françoise Mouly and Art Spiegelman certainly believe so, and have substantially achieved their vision with The TOON Treasury of Classic Children—s Comics. Although eschewing all types of entertainment save the comics-based, their new anthology manages to deliver much the same basket of delights as these nostalgic compilations of a century gone by.
