The extraordinary life of the woman behind the beloved children's
classics Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny comes alive in this
fascinating biography of Margaret Wise Brown. Margaret's books have
sold millions of copies all over the world, but few people know
that she was at the center of a publishing revolution. Her whimsy
and imagination fueled a steady stream of book ideas, songs, and
poems and she was renowned for her prolific writing and business
savvy, as well as her stunning beauty and endless thirst for
adventure. Clever, quirky, and incredibly talented, Margaret
embraced life with passion, lived extravagantly off of her
royalties, and carried on long and troubled love affairs with both
men and women. Among them were two great loves in Margaret's life:
a gender-bending poet and ex-wife of John Barrymore, and a younger
man who also happened to be the son of a Rockefeller and a Carnegie
that Margaret was engaged to. But before they could marry Margaret
died unexpectedly at the age of forty-two, leaving behind a cache
of unpublished work and a timeless collection of books that would
go on to become classics in children's literature. In In the Great
Green Room, author Amy Gary captures the eccentric and exceptional
life of Margaret Wise Brown, revealing an intimate portrait of a
creative genius whose unrivaled talent breathed new life into the
literary world.
