More DescriptionHe and She is a collection of love poems by Margaret Wise Brown, the author of many well-known works for children such as Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny. Margaret was on the forefront of the growing children's book business after the baby boom of WWII. She was bold and brilliant. Some who worked with her called her a creative genius, and the numerous books she penned that became classic works of children's literature certainly back up those claims. However, few know that this prolific pioneer of children's literature led a fascinating and unconventional life. These touching and, at times, fraught poems provide a deeply personal look into Margaret's love life. Her great loves included William Gaston, a prominent New York attorney and with Michael Strange (born Blanche Oelrichs), the former wife of actor John Barrymore. James "Pebble" Rockefeller was Margaret's fiancé at the time of her death. Pebble was her match in spirit and in zest for life. Before sailing to France for meetings with stage and movie producers, Margaret watched him set sail to circumnavigate the world. They had plans to meet in St. Thomas to be married.
