60th anniversary commemorative edition

DVD 2013

In 1953 in a little log cabin in the back woods of Weston, Connecticut, Morton Schindel began creating audiovisual adaptations based on outstanding picture books. They were all faithful reflections of the books themselves. His mission was to help children discover the riches trapped between the covers of books and to moativate them to want to read. Sixty years later, we are proud to continue this tradition.
