A New Deal for the Nursery: Golden Books and the Democratization of American Children’s Book Publishing’

MANCHESTER, NH – The New Hampshire Institute of Art will host Leonard Marcus’s presentation on Thursday, April 12 from 5-7 p.m. in the French Building Auditorium.

Golden Books revolutionized publishing for children when they first appeared during the 1940s, for the first time making high-quality children's books available everywhere—and for just 25 cents each.

In this illustrated presentation, renowned children’s literature historian Leonard Marcus tells the fascinating behind-the-scenes tale of the visionary enterprise that brought together top authors and artists, advanced printing technology, and savvy marketing talent to bring Golden Books to America’s children.

Leonard S. Marcus is the author of Golden Legacy: How Golden Books Won Children’s Hearts, Changed Publishing Forever, and Became an American Icon Along the Way.
