Recently, Marshmallow reread the 1939 classic, Mr. Popper’s Penguins, which is about a man (Mr. Popper) that is sent a penguin by an Arctic/Antarctic explorer (Admiral Drake). A Newberry Honor recipient from 1939, this book was one of the first full-length books Sprinkles and Marshmallow read together many years ago.

Hester Crawford Dorsey was born in 1862 in Baltimore. She, along with Louisa C. Osburne Haughton, founded the Woman's Literary Club of Baltimore in 1890. Though the two founders were offered the presidency of the Club, they both refused, seemingly out of modesty. Shortly after marrying journalist Albert Richardson in 1891, she resigned her second vice presidency and moved to New York, becoming an honorary member of the Club.
