Dear Mr. Pinkwater,

Around the age of 10 or 11 (I am now 34), I read Lizard Music and various other books you authored. Over the intervening years, I remembered aspects of the unique plots that fascinated me as a child, but forgot your name and the titles of the books. On occasion, I would perform an internet search or ask a librarian questions in hopes of determining your name or finding your books. I eventually came to the conclusion that you were one of many authors whose talents were not appreciated and had faded into obscurity (thank goodness I was wrong). More recently, I frequently (and with great interest) listened to you on NPR, but did not realize that you were the author I sought until the host mentioned Lizard Music while introducing you about a year ago. I am glad to have finally found you again.

Byron
