Mike Mulligan and More A Virginia Lee Burton Treasury

Virginia Lee Burton (1909-1968) created some of the most enduring classics of all children's literature. As an artist, writer, and designer, she created books that first entertained her own children. Burton lived with her two sons, Aristides and Michael, and her husband, the sculptor George Demetrios, in a section of Gloucester, Massachusetts, called Folly Cove. Here she taught a class in design and from it emerged the Folly Cove Designers, a group of professional artisans who were internationally known for their block-printed textiles and designs. Barbara Elleman is the author of Virginia Lee Burton: A Life in Art and Tomie DePaola, His Art and His Stories. She has been named a distinguished scholar of children's literature by the School of Education at Marquette University.Burton, Virginia Lee is the author of 'Mike Mulligan and More A Virginia Lee Burton Treasury' with ISBN 9780618256273 and ISBN 061825627X.
