Boris Karloff received a letter from an eleven year old boy

in an iron lung in October 1949. The boy asked him to come

and read a story to him before he died. Karloff read

“The Wind in the Willows” to him for three hours that

Thursday. He came back four more times.

The boy died in December still holding the book.

After Karloff died in 1969, his daughter found his calendars.

He had visited five hundred and seventy-six sick children

over forty eight years and never told a single journalist.
