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.
