關於作者:
Beverly Cleary was born in McMinnville, Oregon, and until she
was old enough to attend school she lived on a farm in Yamhill, a
town so small it had no library. Her mother arranged to have books
sent to their tiny town from the state library and acted as a
librarian in a room over a bank. It was there that Mrs. Cleary
learned to love books. Generations of children have grown up with
Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, Ralph Mouse, and all of their
friends, families, and assorted pets. Beverly Cleary continues to
capture the hearts and imaginations of children of all ages
throughout the world.
