Purple House Press is a publishing house based in Cynthiana, Kentucky. Founded in 2000 by former software engineer Jill Morgan, it specializes in bringing out-of-print children's books back into print.[1]
In the mid-1990s, Morgan purchased a copy of her own favorite kids' book, Mr. Pine's Purple House, for $1. She was later shocked to discover that it, and similar books, were selling for hundreds of dollars online. Not wanting these books to die out because parents would be afraid to let their kids touch them, she took steps to make them readily available again. As of 2022, Purple House has more than 150 books in print, many from award-winning authors and illustrators.[2]
Its catalog also contains books such as The Mad Scientists' Club series by Bertrand R. Brinley, Pickle-Chiffon Pie and more by Jolly Roger Bradfield,Tal: His Marvelous Adventures with Noom-Zor-Noom, by Paul Fenimore Cooper, and Mr. Bear Squash-You-All-Flat, by Morrell Gipson.[3]
