With the date on the note, I had an organized list—easy to check off or file l...Sybilla A. Cook.

Tuesday, May 24, 2011. In these days of constant exposure to unfaithful partners in unhappy marriages, it seemed timely to have an account of a positive one. I wanted to find out what made this work. There were 40 boxes of material at the University of Oregon. That’s a lot of correspondence, manuscripts, and letters!

An amazing couple who wrote and/or illustrated nearly 100 books in the 1900s- fondly referred to these days as the “golden age of publishing.” Three of their books received Caldecott.
