Virginia Lee Burton (1909-1968) created some of the most enduring classics of all children's literature. Burton lived with her two sons and her husband, the sculptor George Demetrios, in Folly Cove, Massachusetts. Here she taught a class in design and from it emerged the Folly Cove Designers, a group of professional artisans who were internationally known.
