| Details: | Golden Legacy: Original Art from 80 Years of Golden Books, co-curated by Leonard S. Marcus, renowned children’s book historian, chronicles the fascinating story of the creation, marketing, and worldwide impact of Little Golden Books, the most popular children’s books of all time. Developed to bring reading and book ownership to everyone, and launched during the dark days of WWII, Golden Books such as The Poky Little Puppy were an instant sensation. Hallmarked by their superlative quality yet affordable to nearly all, they changed the cultural landscape and mirrored our changing postwar culture: the powerful influence of television, the post-Sputnik renaissance in American science education, and the birth of the civil rights movement.
