Description
Margaret Wise Brown was the author of Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny, along with hundreds of other books, stories and songs. She was renowned not only for her prolific writing and publishing savvy, but also for her stunning beauty and thirst for adventure. She spent her royalties on extravagant parties and was known for making friends wherever she went. She was engaged to the heir to the Rockefeller fortune when she traveled to France in 1952. While there, a routine surgery caused an embolism to form. When she kicked up her leg can-can style, the embolism traveled to her brain and took her life. Margaret's unexpected death at the age of 42, and the lengthy unraveling of her rights, left hundreds of her unpublished works tucked away in a trunk in her sister's barn in Vermont. This book contains some those long-forgotten works from one of the most enduring writers for children of all time.
