A sad day -- Russell Hoban is no longer with us. His numerous books for children and his novels for adults remain a legacy that enriches all who have read them.
A Partial Listing of his works
The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz
Kleinzeit
Turtle Diary (filmed)
Pilgermann
Riddley Walker
The Medusa Frequency
Fremder
Mr. Rinyo-Clacton's Offer
The Mouse and his Child (filmed)
The numerous "Frances" Books for Children
A sad day, indeed, Fred. I'm sorry I overlooked it. Hoban was, to my mind, a paid in full member of the Golden Age of Writing for Children. He lived a full, long life, it seems. 86 isn't bad.
ReplyDeleteYvette,
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of his works for children, but I have read most of his novels for adults.
They are something special.
Have you read anything by him or seen any of the two films based on his works--_Turtle Diary_ or _The Mouse and his Child_?
