Lloyd Alexander letter, 1965

 

1 June, 1965


Dear Ruth:


I hope it’s permissible for an author to spend an inordinate number of hours in gleeful pride (or prideful glee?) over a review in THE HORN BOOK. In any case, that's what I've been doing.


Well, needless to say I’m delighted you liked THE BLACK CAULDRON. Seriously delighted, for I value your opinion and it does indeed make me feel encouraged about the project — a rare and wonderful sensation!


But patience! The story still isn’t all told!


All best wishes,


[signed: Lloyd]
