About the author

Grolier was an American publisher, now an imprint of Scholastic.

Grolier's origins are in The Grolier Society, founded in 1895 by a group of Boston scholars, which sold deluxe editions on a subscription basis. The Grolier Club, a society founded in 1884, was named in honor of French Renaissance book collector Jean Grolier, and the society adopted the name Grolier in its honor.
