Generations of children have read Beverly Cleary’s books. From Ramona Quimby to Henry Huggins, Ralph S.

In warm but honest detail, Beverly describes life in Oregon during the Great Depression, including her difficulties in learning to read, and offers a slew of anecdotes that were, perhaps, the inspiration for some of her beloved stories.
