"The New Yorker" called Beverly Cleary's first volume of memoirs, A Girl From Yamhill, a warm, honest book, as interesting as any novel. Now the creator of the classic children's stories millions grew up with continues her own fascination story. Here is Beverly Cleary, from college years to the publication of her first book. It is a fascinating look at her life and a writing career that spans three generations, continuing to capture the hearts and imaginations of children of all ages throughout the world.

Annotation:
The second autobiography by this beloved author begins where her first memoir, "A Girl for Yamhill," ends. This work starts in the 1930s as Cleary sets off for college, becomes a librarian, and meets and eventually marries Clarence Cleary. Leaving plenty of room for a third installment, this book ends with the publication of Cleary's first book, "Henry Huggins".

Praise

New York Times Book Review
"Mrs. Cleary's memoir has many of the strengths of her fiction. She writes, always, with clarity and humor. She remembers the intense fears and the miserable humiliations of childhood, fears and humiliations that haunt children but cannot be explained to or understood by adults." - Perri Klass 11/12/1995

Author Bio

Beverly Cleary

Beverly Cleary is one of the most popular and best-loved authors of children's books. Her works have sold over 75 million copies in 20 countries and have been translated into 14 languages. These figures are even more impressive with the added fact that Cleary had trouble learning to read when she was a child. Cleary has created many memorable characters including Henry Huggins and his dog Ribsy, Ellen Tebbits, and her most popular character, Ramona Quimby. In 1984, Cleary won the Newbery Medal book for DEAR MR. HENSHAW. She also received the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for her body of work. Today, fans of Beverly Cleary can visit the town of Portland, Oregon--where Cleary was raised and set many of her books--and find a wading fountain featuring statues of Henry, Ribsy, and Ramona.
