I'd love to see one or more of his juveniles done. DPC is doing a bunch of them. I've got PG-US clearances on four so far.

Swamp Cat
Hi Jolly!
The Black Fawn
The Story of Geronimo

His most famous ones are the Big Red series and they are still under copyright in the US. My personal favorite is Fire-Hunter and it is still under copyright in the US as well.

EEEE~! This guy's books were practically my childhood! :O

I would adore reading for one of these!
