Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. There was interesting moment. Because this story came from position of Confederates, then it was negative for Soviet ideology. However the film was the best for one of Soviet leaders: Stalin, Hruscoff, Brezhnew. I do not remember more.

I like this book better than The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. By Mark Twain of course.

Have you read? If yes then you tick books with like. The Leatherstocking Tales by James Fenimore Cooper on USSR stamps 1989: The Deerslayer, The Last of the Mohicans, The Pathfinder, The Pioneers ( unfortunately unknown for me ), The Prairie. The hunter Nathaniel Bumppo is the central person of all these books. That was a time of colonisation of East part of North America near the Great Lakes and stugle for influence between British and France.

Thanks for help! At first I was surprised by the quality of the printing of this stamp. It is more in line with today's technologies. Then I saw potentional catalogue value!!! However if the face value so high..... may be, may be .... This stamp coming from the lot of British colonial empire which I hapened to buy.

USSR 1938 - damaged stamp, but has some value as curious. I think this stamp has been glued on stamp or envelope from Poland after september of 1939.

My philatelic interests are next: - mint and used 3 Baltic states ( Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania ) from all years; - used stamps from all World 1840 - 1940; - used British colonial Empire before 1953; - used USSR, GDR; - used USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, German Reich + Bundesrepublik, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, U.K., Ireland, Spain, Italy, Malta, Vatican, Switzerland, colonial stamps. - used paintings from all World ( 1 painting = 1 stamp. For example Rubens self-portrait - only 1 stamp, not all from many countries abaut this). Also something from all world as short or long time investment.
