Carol, Casey, and Rossi

December 22, 2002

Dear Mr. Pinkwater:

The kids and I picked up a copy of your 5 novels. We have been slowly reading the stories now for several months. We are now at the Last Guru. What a great time we have had with this book! We have read it in the summer tent in the middle of a downpour in Algonquin Park, read it at home, and read it in the car while waiting for the laundry. The Last Guru just keeps getting better and better. It is a quintessential Christmas time story. It may replace Dickens Christmas Carol in our home. We, an aging 47 year old woman, an eight year old and a ten year old boy never get bored.

Thanks for your writing!

The good news for you, and other persons of taste, is that 4 FANTASTIC NOVELS is a similar collection to 5 NOVELS. I'm glad you're having fun with stuff I wrote.
