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.
1st ed. LCCN: "5 p. l., 209 p. incl. illus., plates. 21 cm" {{OCLC|706004598}} represents the digital copy at HathiTrust Digital Library:
- Title page shows the following between 'Knee-High to a Grasshopper' and publisher/location/year, in a square block that incorporates snail illustrations
- -- By Anne & Dillwyn Parrish
- -- With illustrations by the authors and a few photographs from little man's album
- Identical front and back endpapers "A Few Photographs of Little Man's Friends from his own Album" comprise 16 square illustrations --hand-drawn photographs, some autographed-- with labels Miss Butterfly; Caterpillar M A; ... T. Turtle, Esq.; and Mr. Jeremiah Dozyboy Dormouse
- Cloth cover with illustration evidently by the interior artist
As of 2016-05-27 Wikipedia credits writer Anne, illustrator Dillwyn, which is plausible, but the title page explicitly credits joint work
