Generations of children have read Beverly Cleary's books. Here she tells a more personal story, her own, of what life was like growing up in Oregon during the Great Depression. She describes her difficulties learning to read and offers a slew of anecdotes that were, perhaps, the inspiration for some of her beloved tales. For everyone who has enjoyed the pranks and schemes, embarrassing moments and poignant and colourful images of childhood brought to life in her books, here is the fascinating true story of the remarkable woman who created them.
