Lilly Library: Indiana University: The Appeal of James Whitcomb Riley

Curated by ACT

For James Whitcomb Riley's sesquicentennial in 1999, the Lilly Library created this exhibition which provides biographical information as well as background on several of his more popular poems, such as "Little Orphant Annie," and "The Raggedy Man." The recordings of these two poems were made by Riley, himself. You'll also find lots of images of Riley and other important writers of his day.
