(2) 4-6 Black-and-white drawings tell of a storm, a shipwreck, and a rescue in a theater; years pass and a dynasty is born of sons of sons who love the stage. In a second story, told in text and encapsulating the first, Joseph runs away to his uncle's London house, where Uncle Albert seems to serve as caretaker for ghosts. Selznick's masterful story-inside-a-story unfolds an emotional narrative.
