Who illustrated the character that Virginia Karns  portrayed in "Babes in Toyland"?
Virginia Karns Virginia Karns (May 30, 1907 – June 21, 1990) was a singer and character actor at the Hal Roach Studios in the early 1930s. Fans probably remember her best from the opening scene of the Laurel and Hardy musical comedy "Babes in Toyland" (1934), in which she portrayed Mother Goose.
James Marshall (author) James Edward Marshall (October 10, 1942 – October 13, 1992) was an American illustrator and writer of children's books, probably best known for the "George and Martha" series of picture books (1972–1988). He illustrated books exclusively as James Marshall; when he created both text and illustrations he sometimes wrote as Edward Marshall. In 2007 the U.S. professional librarians posthumously awarded him the biennial Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal for "substantial and lasting contribution" to American children's literature.
