Golden Books revolutionized 20th-century publishing by creating high-quality children’s books that nearly every American family could afford. In this richly illustrated presentation, Leonard Marcus tells the fascinating story of the upstart visionaries who brought together top-flight authors and artists, state-of-the-art printing technology, and savvy marketing to make Golden Books one of America’s most treasured brands. Leonard Marcus, one of the world’s preeminent authorities on children’s books and the people who create them, is the curator of Golden Legacy: Original Art from 80 Years of Golden Books. A book signing will follow the presentation.
