The legend section spells the name "Ann" and also has other details differing from A. Woollcott's account:
From While Rome Burns. "Reunion in Paris" (pp. 20-3 [1935 fifteenth printing])
"Anne Parish, 209 N. Weber Street, Colorado Springs" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.133.222.181 (talk) 04:01, 7 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
The section was removed on 22 December 2014 by someone who believed it to be vandalism. It had:
While the American author Ann Perish was going through books in a book store in Paris in the 20s, she ran into her favorite book as a child – “Jack Frost and other stories”. She picked up the book and shows it to her husband while telling him it was her favorite book since she was a little child. The husband took the book, open it and found out the following text in the inner cover: “Ann Perish, N.Over 209 street, Colorado Springs”. It was her book that find its way over the ocean.
There are only two web pages with this story that misspell the author's name as "Ann Perish". Both of them have identical wording to the version that was in Wikipedia. I would not add it back until a copy of Alexander Woollcott's While Rome Burns is tracked down to use as a source. --Marc Kupper|talk 07:14, 18 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
