Notes


The beloved Dick and Jane series, created under the direction of educator William S. Gray with stories by Mary Hill Arbuthnot and others, became the standard reading primer from the late 1940s through the 1960s. The books introduced generations of children to literacy through simple, repetitive sentences and gentle watercolor illustrations depicting the everyday life of an idealized mid-century family—Mother, Father, Dick, Jane, Sally, and their pets.
