The Dark Wood of the Golden Birds

For my research on the  Margaret Wise Brown comic I had to have this book, written in 1950. Her publisher was less than enthusiastic about it but by this time Brown was so successful she was able to push it through. It is an odd tale. The book is dedicated to Michael Strange, who was Brown’s girlfriend (lover) at the time.  What a great title! It sounds like a Dario Argento film.
