Beverly Cleary has died at 104
Here's a link to one of the many news stories:
https://www.npr.org/2021/03/26/31188...by-dies-at-104 Wow, that's a good long life! I remember reading her books when I was a kid in the 1970s. |

I enjoyed a Ramona book. Maybe Ramona the pest.
Never saw or read them till I was an adult. Quote:
"BGI?" I asked. "Brain Graphics Interface.." I've asked her did she write to Beverly Cleary. |

Nothing wrong with Henry Huggins and Ramona (but while Ramona was funnier, my heart was with poor Beezus), but I was also a fan of her maltshop-style stories.

Wow, long life. Good for her. She's definitely a classic of children's books.
