SPECIAL EVENT: RICHARD PECK
Sunday, May 16, 3-5 p.m.
For Richard Peck fans of all ages.
Richard Peck, award-winning author of books for children and young adults, will share his experiences with us at Abington Free Library.
Registration begins April 5.
“I was born and brought up in Decatur, Illinois, the real Illinois a long way from Chicago. Back then, a boy knew when his adolescence was over. A notice to that effect came through the mail, from the draft board. And so I was a soldier in Germany, ghost-writing sermons for chaplains— my first writing job. I’d been a student in England too, and so I came of age in other countries.
I live in one now, a third-world sort of island called Manhattan that knows very little about the real America, let alone the real Illinois.
Here in this exile I have reached the age of nostalgia....
I caught my first glimpses of the world and the future in books. Here in some other century I hope young readers still do.”
- Richard Peck, 2001 |
