His "Chronicles of Pyrdian" was one of the first fantasy series I'd ever read (right after "Narnia"). I went on to read just about everything he wrote from then on. What a great loss to the literary world.

Dear Community,
There is sad news. Lloyd Alexander died this morning. He was under Hospice care and was at home in his own bed where he wanted to be.
His wife, Janine, to whom he was married for sixty-two years, died two weeks ago - also at home. (He met and married the French Janine in Paris at the end of WWII.)
His last book, THE GOLDEN DREAM OF CARLO CHUCHIO is out in galley form. Holt publication date is August. It is vintage Alexander.
Lloyd said about CARLO, "I have finished my life work."
With respect,
Kemie Nix
