This weekend, I chanced upon a beautiful little book called How Sing Found the World is Round by Sydney Reid. It was published by Volland in the early part of the twentieth century. You can read more about Volland here: http://www.loganberrybooks.com/juvcat-volland.html
The illustrator is Katherine Sturges Dodge, the mother of Hilary Knight who is the illustrator of the very popular Eloise series. The book can be viewed online through the Children’s Books Online website: http://www.childrensbooksonline.org/How_Sing/index.htm
So far, I haven’t been able to find much of a biography for Katherine Sturges Dodge. If anyone out there knows of any resources, please let me know. I’d love to learn more about her.
