Golliwog Book Roots In A Family Tale Of Upton Kin

The Upton family of Bertha and Florence Upton with Agbel Gordon Curtis reveal how the Golliwog characters for children were born from sketches and verses. A Paris home, five members, and a cheerful but modest income fueled the popular Christmas book line now selling well. The piece also notes Frederic S Isham's Under the Rose becoming a top selling US title, rising rapidly in sales expectations.

A Song O' The Picnic Blues Note

A garbled verse evokes a picnic mood with references to April skies and birds. The fragment hints at weather and plans to hear the breeze and birds at a morning outing, but the text is incomplete and lacks clear events or names. The piece reads like a regional lyric fragment from an old newspaper page.
