The Lightning Express, 1881
Adopted by Shari Elkort
In memory of her mother, Myra Love Elkort (née Menkes)
The tale follows a steam train and its passengers as their adventures grow ever more fantastical, in the whimsical spirit of late 19th-century American illustrated books, ending with a voyage into space.
