Havertown[edit]

I can't believe she lived in Havertown! ''[[User:Kitia|Kitia'']] 20:26, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I too was surprised, as I once lived there too, but she seems to have lived just about everywhere, especially during the first years after her marriage, when she and her husband moved to many places in the Canadian western provinces. EdK 20:44, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Relevant selections from chapter 27 & 28 of Butter at the Old Price: the autobiography of Marguerite de Angeli (1971): Soon after this, in the fall of 1940, Arthur (Marguerite's brother) and his wife moved to Manoa, a new suburb of Philadelphia. They urged us to move there too, and we did. . . . One summer Jack and Edna stayed in our house in Manoa while we were at the cottage in Toms River. . . . The house in Manoa had no proper place for me to work. The only good light from the left was at the end of the long narrow kitchen. So there it was that I set up my drawing table and chair, my typewriter, paints, and pencils, and there began the book Elin's Amerika. . . December 7, 1941, came, when everyone hung over the radio, listening with unbelieving ears to the reports of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Ted had been graduated from high school and was classified 1A by the draft board. In no time at all he was called up. . . . Up the Hill . . . Sometime during this period we had guests, Henry Beston and his wife, Elizabeth Coatsworth, who were passing through on their way to find a school for their girls. I had illustrated several of her books, most recently Alice All by Herself. I showed them where I was working at the end of the kitchen and Elizabeth said she would always think of me sitting there at my work. . . . While I was still at work on the pictures for Yonie Wondernose . . . Turkey for Christmas . . . He (Dai) read (Turkey for Christmas) for about two pages, then, in a quavery tearful voice, said, "I can't read any more," and passed it on to Arthur, my oldest brother. He too read only a few pages, when he had to stop, wipe his eyes, and wordlessly pass it on. . . . Yonie Wondernose was "in the works" and it too was published in 1944 by Doubleday. Meantime, we had moved to Germantown. EdK 21:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC) (Did Ted graduate from Haverford HS? It isn't clearly stated.)[reply]

Alphabet[edit]

I'm putting this author's name in an alphabetical list. Should it go under A of D? -ErinHowarth (talk) 00:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
