Corinne Malvern - Nurse Nancy's "Mom"


We're going to step outside our usual format and talk about a fantastic talent. Corinne Malvern was the artist behind Nurse Nancy, Doctor Dan, and many other popular characters from the 1930s to the 1950s. Sadly she died at the age of 51 in 1956. I'm sure her Nurse Nancy character inspired many little girls to become nurses, and we hope that many remember her art fondly.

The copyright on her Nurse Nancy ended approximately 10 years ago, but perhaps there's some good in that. Above is a collage of Nurse Nancy images that are used in a line of decorative storage boxes. Now the world may see Nancy in a variety of settings away from the book that originally featured Malvern's beautiful drawings.

Just what is a "natural home remedy?" Our next blog will attempt to shed some light on home remedies and clear up some misconceptions.

Until then, stay safe and happy,

Nurse Nan
