Virginia Lee Burton 1909-1968 was the talented author and

children. The winner of the 1942 Caldecott Medal for THE LITTLE
HOUSE, Burton''s books include heroes and happy endings, lively
illustrations, and a dash of nostalgia. She lived with her two
sons, Aristides and Michael, and her husband George Demetrios, the
sculptor, 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 internationally known professional
artisans. She is the author of many classic children''s picture
