Description

Classic stories of American life were popular ASEs. The tale of Lassie resonated with troops—they related to that loyal collie, who was removed from home and spent years trying to return to her family. As the back cover of Twain’s ASE states, Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer “are literary friends that most of us make in childhood and keep for a lifetime.” Both books brought comfort to homesick troops.
