Notes
Anne is known mainly as a writer, Dillwyn mainly as an artist/illustrator, but: "[Anne] and her younger brother Dillwyn, her only sibling, created two children's books, dividing equally the writing and illustrating work, and one book of literary sketches. She wrote and illustrated two more juveniles on her own." --John P. Reid, "Anne Parrish", Collecting Delaware Books (jnjreid.com/cdb)
This is one of the two jointly credited children's books.
