Product Information

The Lying Eyes of Linda — Linda Lyall is sent from a Children's Home to the wealthy Hampton family. By mistake they think she is blind and Linda is taking advantage to play on their sympathy. Each issue had a theme usually involving a play on words. The main picture set up the theme for the story. As well as the large picture there was one small panel in the corner; often this would be a contrast to the calmer/ happier main picture.
