Reference to "Dear Genius..." review?[edit]

Might someone include a hyperlink to the review of Dear Genius...the letters of Ursula Nordstrom at http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/03/22/reviews/980322.22sinklet.html ? I wished to include it as a footnote when I added the reference to Syd Hoff's Danny and the Dinosaur (1958), but apparently I do not have permission to edit the references section... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandyandtimber (talk • contribs) 01:31, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The references section is automatically generated when references are added to the article using the <ref> tags. (More info about that here if you're interested.) I went ahead and added that link for you. Propaniac (talk) 02:06, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Mellops go flying[edit]

1956 wanderte Ungerer mit 60 Dollar und einigen Zeichnungen in der Tasche in die USA, nach New York, aus. Unterernährt und mit verschleppter Rippenfellentzündung begab er sich sofort in die Notfallstation eines Krankenhauses. Dort weigerte man sich, ihn zu behandeln, da er nicht genug Geld hatte, um eine Behandlung zu bezahlen. Anderntags versuchte er bei der Kinderbuchlektorin von Harper, Ursula Nordström, einen Vertrag für sein Kinderbuch zu erhalten. Nordström lehnte zunächst bedauernd ab, gab ihm aber schließlich nach einem Schwächeanfall einen Vorschuss von 500 Dollar Bargeld.[5] Bereits 1957 gewann er seinen ersten Preis für sein erstes illustriertes Kinderbuch, „The Mellops go flying“, eine Geschichte mit kleinen Schweinchen.

Father's name[edit]

I have changed the name of Nordstrom's father and linked it to Wikipedia's Henry E. Dixey article. I don't know where the authors of Minders of Make-believe found the "Dixie" spelling for Marie Nordstrom's husband's last name. I have recently done research and posted articles on Marie Nordstrom and her sister, Frances Nordstrom. In doing so, I have seen numerous contemporary newspaper articles that have his last name spelled "Dixey", as does the Wikipedia article about him. None had it "Dixie".
