My Uncle, Chuck Murphy was contacted by Graceland to design a Pop Up Book for the place. He had done mostly children's book and thought a pop up book on a house would not be interesting, until he went there... he was blown away.

I didn't know he was working on it until after it was completed. I was so excited when he gave me a copy and the Jungle Room was one of the pop up pages... At the time, he couldn't find info on the furniture and Graceland said they didn't know who made it, and I was so bummed when in the book it says they didn't know where the furniture came from... WITCO, I told him. William Westenhauver, I've even met and talked to his Grand Daughter and Grandson-in-law who still carves in the same style!!! Well, I guess that will have to be in GraceLand 2.

There's a Witco right on the cover!
