Twentieth-century design duo Charles and Ray Eames had serious fun experimenting and solving problems.

They made furniture in every shape they could think of, bending and layering plywood on a homemade contraption. They made short films, designed textiles and arranged museum exhibits, dabbled in architecture and photography. They even tried their hand at toy design, wanting to give kids tools to foster free thinking and exploration--the same principles that fueled their own work. Christy Hale's retro illustrations and enthusiastic text bring mid-century modern delightfully alive. Serious Fun! is a must-read for any bright young thinker already suspecting that all-work, no-play grown-ups have got it all wrong. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

Her devoted student, supporter, and friend, Mary Dyer, follows Anne and her family to the even more primitive colony of Rhode Island.
