A memorable quote

“
This book gives me more information about penguins than I care to have.
—

In 1944 a children’s book club sent a volume about penguins to a 10-year-old girl, enclosing a card seeking her opinion.

She wrote this.

American diplomat Hugh Gibson called it the finest piece of literary criticism he had ever read.
