Generations of children have grown up with Henry Huggins, Ramona Quimby, and all of their friends, families, and assorted pets. For everyone who has enjoyed the pranks and schemes, embarrassing moments, and all of the other poignant and colorful images of childhood brought to life in Beverly Cleary books, here is the fascinating true story of the remarkable woman who created them.

It's been years since I read any of Beverly Cleary's books, but something prompted me to pick this up (probably a list of books by authors who died last year). It was wonderful! Now I want to revisit the Ramona books, which seem to have a lot of Beverly in them. Her troubled relationship with her mother was sad but interesting to read about, something that she seemingly kept out of her children's books.
