Just praise from Germany

it took me long to write you. I just wanted to say thank you for your Alice series. I got the second book of this series for my 10th birthday. It didn`t interest me at the beginning – I had a lot of other books to read. But when I read your book eventually I was captured. I bought all Alice books which I could find in German (my native language). Then – because I couldn`t find more – bought them in English. As Alice grew older I grew older – we were always about the same age. And she had so many problems I had myself. She was perhaps like a friend sometimes. I read some of the books 3, 4 times. The Alice overtook me: She went very quickly 65 while I am still “only” 29 years old. I wanted for a long time give you a praise for those books and I wanted to tell you how much they meant for me. 19 years after my first Alice book I do it with this small E-Mail. Thanks a lot and all the best.

I’m so glad you were able to finish reading the books in English.  And it was wonderful knowing that you grew up with Alice.  Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me after all these years.  It means a lot.
