| | Radcliffe Quarterly—Summer 2006 |
 | | The papers of Marjorie Henderson Buell, Lulu’s creator, came to the library thanks to the generosity of her sons, Lawrence Buell, the Powell M. Cabot Professor of American Literature at Harvard, and Frederick Buell, a professor of English at Queens College, City University of New York. |
 | | At the age of eight, Buell was selling drawings to her friends, and in high school she worked out of her studio in a converted chicken coop and sold cartoons to the Philadelphia Ledger. |
 | | By 1950, Buell was presiding over a merchandising empire that included Little Lulu dolls, lunch boxes, magic slates, coin purses, bubble bath, pajamas, and candy, some of which are included in the collection. |
