Thanks you Lee for passing this on. I have such fond memories of John
... leading rounds at Children's Literature New England Conferences, sharing with him my great-grandfather's verses of FROG WENT A-COURTIN' and, especially in this season, his devotion to REVELS. He will be missed.

I'm sorry to have to add a sad note during the Holiday Season but I don't think many have heard that...
  JOHN LANGSTAFF died last Tuesday. John was 84 and living in Switzerland. In addition to his music genius, he wrote FROG WENT a-COURTIN' which won a Caldecott in l956 for Feodor Rojankovsky's illustrations.
  He was a remarkable man.
