“Nibbles and Me” drawings

When she was just 13 years old, Elizabeth Taylor wrote and illustrated a children’s book, Nibbles and Me, recounting her adventures with her pet chipmunk, who she first met while filming Courage of Lassie. Young Elizabeth was paid $1,000 ($16,500 today) for her story by New York-based publisher Duell, Sloan and Pearce, and the book was published in 1946.
