A work of juvenilia, Eddie the Acorn is a forty-five year old high school assignment that was later illustrated by Ellen's older brother Mark.
Ellen thought the original was lost during her college years in an ill-fated storage unit rental. But it wasn't so. Unbeknownst to Ellen, in 2023 Mark self-published the book and presented it as a surprise gift of love.
The simple composition comes to the public without improvement. As such, the unedited sixteen-year-old's story and CMU college student's hand-drawn characters are beautifully old-fashioned.
