Nell Goodale Price was a prolific author of children's plays, poems and stories published in the late 1930's through the 1940's in such magazines as Jack and Jill, Child Life, Wee Wisdom, the Instructor, and Junior Magazine. This includes as she notes in the section 12B The Two Mysterious Marvel Workers (10 pages) which she notes was her first juvenile which was not sold.
