Appreciation

Question:

I have been a huge fan of the Alice books ever since I was in grade school. I pretty much grew up with Alice and the gang. It was the series that really impassioned me for reading from a young age. I’m 26 years old now and in law school doing human rights work all over the world, yet my fiancé teases me for sneaking off with the kindle to read the latest Alice books.  I just wanted to express my appreciation for your work (the Alice series and others). I know that your books must touch other children, my generation and the ones after mine, in significant ways.

Phyllis replied:

I hear from a lot of other twenty-something women who still sneak off to read the Alice books, and I’m delighted.  Thanks so much for taking time to write to me!
