Crockett Johnson and Ruth Krauss: How an Unlikely Couple Found Love, Dodged the FBI, and Transformed Children's Literature - Philip Nel I know of both children's authors, but somehow I didn't find this story of their love and careers as interesting as I thought I would. I read the first few chapters and skimmed the rest, learning enough to know that I probably would have found Krauss immensely irritating and would have liked Johnson. Not sure why there were together, but it was apparently as success for both of them.
