ELeanor Cameron: DImensions of Amazement















Published March 2018

University Press of Mississippi

Foreword by Gregory Maguire


It started when I was 8 years old and discovered Eleanor Cameron's The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet at the public library. I took the book home, started reading, and didn't put it down until I was finished. I had never been so entranced by a book before. Thirty years later, through a series of unlikely events, I found myself researching and writing the first ever biography of one of the most formidable authors and critics children's literature has ever seen.
