About the Author

Ruth Robinson Carroll (1899–1999) and "Archer" Latrobe Carroll (1894–1996) wrote and illustrated many books for children. The New York natives wanted to remedy the common perception of Appalachian dwellers as backward and ignorant, and their stories of the Tatum family are their best-known books, along with Peanut and Digby the Only Dog.
