Leonard Everett Fisher was born June 24, 1924 in Bronx, New York. As a child he attended art classes, absorbed the wealth of New York's art museums and had his drawings exhibited alongside those of older students. During World War II, he served as a topographic specialist with the Operations Section of the 30th Topographic Engineers, a unit attached at home and abroad to the staff of the US Army's chief-of-staff, General George C. Marshall. In that role, Fisher participated in the mapping of most of the major invasions and campaigns in Europe and the Pacific. After receiving the B.F.A. and M.F.A. degrees from Yale University in 1949 and 1950, he toured Europe on two traveling fellowships, then became dean of the Whitney School of Art in New Haven, Connecticut (1950-53). Fisher married Margery Meskin in 1951 and the couple eventually had three children: Julie Anne, Susan Abby and James Albert.
In 1954 Fisher illustrated his first children's book, The Exploits of Xenophon. After working with a variety of publishers from 1954-61, he became author as well as illustrator, beginning a long career as creator of literature for children. In the late 1950s and early 1960s Fisher worked on several important educational series, including: the six-volume Our Reading Heritage for Holt; the multilevel, eight-volume kit, The Reading Laboratory, for Science Research Associates; and the two-volume kit, The Literature Sampler, published by Learning Materials, Inc.
From 1964 to 1983 Fisher wrote and illustrated two series of children's books on American history, a favorite subject of his. These were The Colonial Americans series, which included nineteen volumes published from 1964 to 1976 by Franklin Watts, and the Nineteenth Century America series, which involved seven volumes published from 1979 to 1983 with Holiday House.
Other notable books for younger readers describing and illustrating the American experience, as well as the hazards faced by immigrants trying to become part of it, include America Is Born (Morrow, 1959), America Grows Up (Morrow, 1960), The Supreme Court (Morrow, 1962), The Story of Science in America (Scribner'1967), The Death of Evening Star (Doubleday, 1972), Across the Sea from Galway (Four Winds, 1975), and A Russian Farewell (Four Winds, 1980).
Not merely confined to American historical subjects, however, Fisher has written and designed a wide range of books on subjects including world history, the sciences, mathematics, archaeology and ecology. Representative of these are Sound and Ultrasonics (Knopf, 1959), Great Archaeologists (Crowell, 1962), Archimedes (Macmillan, 1965), Why the Earth Quakes (Holiday House, 1969), The Journey of the Gray Whales (Holiday House, 1974), Star Signs (Holiday House, 1983) and Earth Songs (Holiday House, 1986). He has also illustrated for Cricket and Ladybug magzines and illustrated audio-visual filmstrips based on stories by Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, and Robert Louis Stevenson.
In addition to his exhaustive career as author and illustrator, Fisher has also held numerous exhibitions of his own paintings, including a fifty-year retrospective at the University of Connecticut; produced public murals, such as one for the Washington Monument; and designed postage stamps for the United States Postal Service. Always an educator since the Whitney School of Art experience, he has been a teacher or administrator in several institutions, most notably the Paier College of Art (faculty member 1966-78; academic dean 1978-82; dean emeritus since 1982) but also at Case Western Reserve University, Silvermine School of the Arts and Fairfield University. Over the past twenty years he has been popular as a lecturer and speaker at art institutes, academic seminars, education workshops and children's book programs nationwide.
Examples of Fisher's many awards and honors are the Ten Best Illustrated Books award of the New York Times in 1964 for Casey at Bat; the Graphics Prize of the Fifth International Book Fair in Bologna, Italy in 1968; the Christopher Medal (8-12 nonfiction) for illustration in 1981 for All Times, All Peoples: A World History of Slavery by Milton Meltzer;, the Children's Book Guild/Washington Post Nonfiction Award (1979) and the Kerlan Award, University of Minnesota (1991). He has illustrated two Newbery honor books by Gerald W. Johnson: America is Born: A History for Peter in 1960 and America Moves Forward: A History for Peter in 1961. In 1979 he received the University of Southern Mississippi Silver Medallion.
Still living in Westport, Connecticut, as he has for decades, and having recently published The ABC Exhibit, Sailboat Lost and Cyclops in 1991, Fisher reiterates that one can always expect "more of the same" from his pen and brush and feels that "what seems to have been fundamental to me all of my life is a hunger to express the inexpressible, to make visible the invisible."

Scope and Content
The Fisher Papers have been divided into six series: biographical material, correspondence, books, educational materials, greeting cards and postage stamps. Biographical material, which is composed only of two newspaper clippings, is arranged chronologically. Correspondence is subdivided into selected correspondence to the de Grummond Collection and fan mail. Fisher filed fan mail, dated 1966 through 1979, by state, and this order has been retained but placed in stricter chronological order.
The eighteen book titles represented in the collection were published between 1956 and 1979. These titles are arranged alphabetically with material for each title arranged in the probable order of creation.
For Alphabet Art: Thirteen ABCs from around the World (1978), and ABC picture book, the collection holds an autographed press sheet. For The Death of Evening Star: The Diary of a Young New England Whaler (1972), the story of a boy who keeps a diary of his experience on his first voyage aboard a sinister whaling ship, the collection includes a typescript, galleys, specification sheets, dummy pages, and color separations. For Energy and Power (1958) by Robert Irving the collection holds an autographed press sheet. This book takes a scientific look at different forms of energy and power.

Brooks Smith, the collection holds sixteen illustrations plus color seprations for three maps and the dust jacket. This title includes eyewitness accounts of the first Spanish and French explorations, including narratives of the expeditions of De Soto, Marquette and Jolliet, Hennepin, and La Salle.
For The Factories (1979), which explores the introduction of factories into the United States at the close of the 18th century and discusses their contribution to America's becoming a major industrial power within 100 years, the collection holds two autographed promotional posters. Getting to Know the U. S. A. (1963), by Charles Wright Ferguson, is one of a series of "Getting to Know" books. The collection includes two color separations for this title.

Bullard the collection holds press sheets.

For The Railroads (1979), which traces the growth of the railroads during the nineteenth century, the collection holds two autographed posters. For Sweeney's Ghost (1975), the story of a vacationing family who discover their rented Jamaican villa is haunted by the ghost of a pirate, the collection holds publisher correspondence, a typescript, galleys, sketches, illustrations, specification and layout sheets, color samples, a paste-up, dummy pages, a color separation, a dust jacket proof, and a promotional item. For To Unknown Lands (1956) the collection holds an illustration for the dust jacket. Two If By Sea (1970) recounts the events of the evening of April 18, 1775, when Paul Revere made his historic ride to warn the colonists of the approaching British. For this title the collection holds galleys. For Verity Mullens and the Indian (1960) by Natalia Maree Belting the collection includes sketches. White Falcon: An Indian Boy in Early America (1977) by Eileen Thompson is the story of a young Indian who witnesses the death and disease caused by the Spanish exploration of America during the sixteenth century. For this title the collection contains publisher correspondence, illustrations, a paste-up, sketches, and color separations. The Wicked City (1972) by Isaac Bashevis Singer retells the Old Testament tale of the destruction of Sodom. Included for this title is a proof of the dust jacket. For The World of Jo Davidson (1958) by Lois Harris Kuhn the collection holds a press sheet.
The educational materials are subdivided into two reading kits, illustrated by Fisher: The Literature Sampler and the Science Research Associates Reading Laboratory. Both are represented by publisher correspondence, charts made by Fisher, summaries, specification sheets, dummies, and other working papers, as well as by sketches, totalling more than 1,000 items. The Literature Sampler is arranged alphabetically by title, while the Reading Laboratory is arranged by color-coded reading level.
The greeting cards consist of original illustrations and printed cards, including the de Grummond Christmas card for 1974-1975. The postage stamps are original designs by Fisher on envelopes with original and engraved illustrations.
