Author Information:
Betty MacDonald (1908–1958) was the author of the beloved children's books about Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. The Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle stories were first told to her two daughters.
After Betty MacDonald's death, her daughter Anne MacDonald Canham found a never-before-published Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle story along with notes for other stories among her mother's possessions. This was the beginning of Happy Birthday, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, the first new Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle book in fifty years. |
