Looking for a poetry book I had when I was a child, don'
(1915- ) I'm afraid that I don't know much about Jane Werner Watson, but a great-niece wrote in that she is in her eighties and living in California. Werner wrote and edited many children's books from 1944-1978 (mostly in the '50s) and has published under at least three different variations of her name: Elsa Jane Werner, Jane Werner, and Jane Werner Watson. Many of these were for Golden Books, including at least 35 Little Golden Books, and many for Walt Disney Productions. Some are religious in theme, some silly or comic, and some truly magical.
LOGANBERRY LEGACY
Perhaps even more famous than Jane Werner around here is Garth Williams, who illustrated two of the most famous and sought-after Werner titles. After decades of (expensive) out-of-print status, The Golden Treasury of Elves and Fairies was reprinted in 1999, and quickly went out-of-print again. But wait! Random House, which purchased the defunct Golden Press, has brought it back again! After a two year wait, it's finally here, 9/9/2008, and available for the bargain price of $16.99. We're filling advanced orders now, but feel free to add your name to the list. We have plenty. (Scroll down.) Also back in print is Walt Disney's Grandpa Bunny, and it's as cheap as LGBs always were. The Tall Book of Make-Believe, alas, remains on the out-of-print list. For complete contents of both The Tall Book of Make-Believe and The Golden Treasury of Elves and Fairies, see the Anthologies Finder.
