T&C Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I had no idea that she was still alive... but, I'm pretty sure I have read all of her books. RIP.

The Avenger Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Saw an interview she did a few years ago when she was a mere 100 and she said she wanted to write books about normal kids because all the childrens books in the 1920s were mostly about English kids who had nannies and pony carts and "I thought they were a bunch of sissies" Spunky lady, may she RIP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I distinctly remember “Dear Mr. Henshaw” as a kid— that book stuck with me for years. Been cool reading her Ramona books now with my 9-year old.
