Sad news about Beverly Cleary, although 104 is certainly good innings! I loved her books so much; even now I can visualize Ramona making her Q into a little cat, or singing "dawnzer lee light" in the National Anthem! I couldn't believe that the NYT obituary opened by calling Ramona bratty!
I really enjoyed the NPR obit.
A fascinating, quick biography of Ms. Cleary is "A Girl From Yamhill." I thoroughly enjoyed it!
