Fern Canyon
These folks have been kind enought to put the entire texts of Treasure Island and Robinsion Crusoe online, with the original illustrations by N. C. Wyeth.
It terms of presentation, there is very little that is significant about this page. Peggy Kruse, a teacher at Belleville High School had her students read Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston's novel "Farewell to Manzanar" and presented them with some "enrichment" materials on the era of World War II. The poetry presented by the students illustrates the powerful impact of the unit, the book and the teacher.
This is a page that was listed and visited much earlier. A revisit left me with an impression that this is a great example of very persistant research over a considerable period of time. With a generic background and a few graphics, the page loads quickly and displays the well organized content. No tables or fancy frames. As refreshing as a black and white movie that depends on the content/drama to keep you interested.
