Lucille Wallower papers, 1939-1975.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/352886895

The papers of Pennsylvania children's author Lucille Wallower contain typewritten drafts and illustrations for many different works, including: All About Pennsylvania; Chooky; Colonial Histories: Pennsylvania; A Conch Shell for Molly; The Hippity Hopper: or, Why There Are No Indians in Pennsylvania; Indians of Pennsylvania; The Lost Prince: Louis XVII of France; The Morning Star; My Book about Abraham Lincoln; The New Pennsylvania Primer; Old Satan: A Pennsylvania Folk Tale; Pennsylvania ABC; Pennsylvania: A Bicentennial Workshop; The Pennsylvania Dutch; They Came to Pennsylvania; Your Pennsylvania; and Your State, Pennsylvania. Wallower frequently collaborated with local teachers to produce text books for elementary level classes, and many of the works represented in this collection were created specifically for use in the classroom. These works may provide insight into teaching methods in public elementary schools during this time period. They may also be of interest to local historians interested in depictions of Pennsylvania in children's literature. Of particular interest are the almost complete set of final illustrations for The Hippity Hopper (1957) and original artwork for Old Satan. There are also 30 chromolithographs for Wallower's first self-illustrated book, A Conch Shell for Molly (1940).
