Lecture
Tuesday, November 17, 2009
Leonard Marcus — author, historian and critic of children’s literature — will present the Jones Distinguished Lecture at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Kanza Room of the Memorial Union at Emporia State University.
The lecture, “A New Deal for the Nursery: Golden Books and the Democratization of American Children’s Book Publishing,” will give behind-the-scenes stories of the authors and artists, advanced printing technology, and marketing that made Golden Books a household name. Marcus also will present a lecture for educators on Thursday in Room 330 of Visser Hall at ESU. Both events are free and open to the public.
