There are many "modern" names such as Walt Disney, that I do not include, as well as the names of those who did the illustrations or photographs in the book. If you can possibly find this book at your local library, you will be amazed at the information herein. Please do that before writing for more information on any of those listed. If you write me, please do it "privately" and not to the list. Good luck, Patricia <[email protected]>
