Watty Piper was the pen name of Arnold Munk, a Hungarian-born publisher who immigrated to the United States as a child. Through his New York-based firm, Platt & Munk, Munk brought classic tales to countless young readers. Munk played a key role in sharing timeless stories with future generations by editing and publishing books under the Watty Piper name.
London-born "Eulalie" was a highly prolific and popular children's book illustrator. She began selling illustrations to magazines at age 15 and illustrated her first children's book at age 18. She also drew greeting cards and calendars and was a highly successful mural painter. She died at the age of 104 in Sherman Oaks, California.
Despite its age and wear, this book carries the spirit of treasured stories that have warmed children's hearts for decades. Add it to your collection, share it with a young reader, or simply enjoy its nostalgic charm as a piece of literary history.
