Descriere & specificații

Painstakingly created in 1948 by award-winning artist, Margaret Morrison Roeth, and based on her two children, Charles and Helen Betsy, 'Mister Deedle's Tree House' is a legacy of pure love-only now seeing the light of day- through the heartfelt efforts and staunch determination of her son, Charles Morrison Roeth and his family. Charles Roeth, now in his nineties, has endeavored these last several decades to see his beloved mother's book released into the world, and at Morgan Pierce, we're honored, delighted, and thrilled to have had a role to play in making his dream reality! n Mister Deedle's Tree House was originally taken to a publisher in San Francisco sometime shortly after its creation but was turned down for publication. Margaret then put away her precious stories and astounding illustrations and instead focused on raising her family. The manuscript had been kept stored away until Helen Betsy Roeth (Margaret's daughter/Chuck's sister) was getting personal effects in order, and in 2012, she passed the original book illustrations and text along to Chuck. He attempted transcribing the manuscript and digitizing the artwork but with little luck. Throughout Chuck's efforts, life continued; he served proudly in the U.S. Navy, as a First Class Petty Officer from 1948-52 during the Korean War, married the love of his life, Jan on September 24, 1966 (they will soon celebrate their fifty-eighth wedding anniversary), raised his family and built a career as a Mechanical Engineer,
