In the Great Green Room: The Brilliant and Bold Life of Margaret Wise Brown by Amy Gary
4.0
A very interesting view of a fascinating woman. As a child of the late 1980s, I'm certain that many of the books my parents read were authored or inspired by Margaret Wise Brown. It was really fun to read about this woman who was probably, unknowingly, an integral part of my early childhood literary experience. Learning about her life, her loves, her passions and experiences was entertaining and I thought the author did an excellent job. Toward the end, the timeline of events got a little cluttered and seemed a little rushed, but overall, I thought the work was excellent. It makes me want to travel to the Northeast and visit some literary haunts.
