Author of "In the Great Green Room," Amy Gary

Gary is the author of the new biography In the Great Green Room: The Brilliant and Bold Life of Margaret Wise Brown, a 1932 graduate of what was then Hollins College. In 1990, Gary discovered unpublished manuscripts and songs from Brown tucked away in a trunk in the attic of Margaret’s sister’s barn. Since then, Gary has catalogued, edited, and researched all of Brown’s writings. Her work on Margaret Wise Brown has been covered in Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly, and on NPR.
