Thank you so much for spreading the word about Georgie!
My father, John W. Dunn, was a cartoonist and storyboard writer for Warner Bros. & DFE.
He raised me up to have great appreciation for talented newspaper cartoon artists and children's storybook artists.
I worked for a time in some public libraries, where I became acquainted with Bright and his delightfully charming books about Georgie. I was amazed at how many there were in the Public Libraries then and hopefully still are. These are the sort of stories with fun little ghosts that I always tried to find when I was a kid. They are ageless.

jd,
it all started when i discovered this old 1944 hardback edition at a book sale https://friendlyghost.typepad.com/lost_found_vintage_toys/2012/10/georgie-the-ghost.html
i love & miss the charm of this little ghost & his kitty & owl friends, this kind of illustration before everything went slick & plastic, you know? i've now found 6 or 7 other georgie books & shared them here over the years. i always appreciate the artists that brought us these sweet nostalgic gems.. glad it gave you a smile :)
