Used very good.
This collection of Disney Literature Classics will be enjoyed by the whole
family, young and old alike. Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse are the
principal actors in situations that derive from great works by great writers.
The familiar irony, wit and magic of Disney are all present in these comic
strip tales that take familiar stories one (or two!) steps further. These
parodies will stimulate children's curiosity, and will encourage them
to read the original classics.
In this parody of Tbe Caunt of Monte Cristo, Donald Duck is tricked by Uncle Scrooge
and Gladstone Gander into hiding stolen money and, like Dantès, the hero of the
original story, he ends up in prison. Abbé Faria, played by himself, helps him to escape
and gives him a treasure map. Donald eventually reaches dry land, with the help of a
passing shark, and finds the treasure, as well as a note left by Dantès saying that this is
part of the treasure of Monte Cristo! Like Dantès, Donald uses the money to help his
friends and to take revenge on his enemies. In this case, he founds a'children's repu-
blic' in a billionaires' resort--but at the end of a railway line in which Uncle Serooge
had just invested a fortune!
