I LOVE Marjorie Flack's books- the "Angus" books, the illustrations in "The Story of Ping", and others. I recently purchased an old book of hers- "Topsy" and it is a delightful story. I have read it to my grandchildren (one who is named Samantha) and they love it- it is the story of a little dog named Topsy and her adventures with a little girl named Judy, and an elderly old woman named Miss Samantha Littlefield. This is a book worth searching for on Ebay or other sites, as it probably is not in many libraries.

I read about Marjorie Flack on Answers.com - did not know that she was once married to Karl Larsson- what art they must have done together! Here is a little synopsis of her life-
"Marjorie Flack (22 October 1897 - ? 1958) was an artist and writer of children's picture books. She was best known for The Story about Ping(1933), popularized by Captain Kangaroo, and for her stories of an insatiably curious Scottish terrier named Angus, including Angus and the Ducks (1930). Her first marriage was to artist Karl Larsson; she later married poet William Rose Benet."
