Those who remember the untiring enthusiasm of Constantine Georgiou (Connie) for children's literature, should know he died on January 2nd at the age of 8l.
Connie who worked for over 50 years teaching children's literature retired from NYU where his courses were among the most popular. In l969, he published CHILDREN AND THEIR LITERATURE (Prentice-Hall), a 50l-paged volume.
Connie could take a 32-paged picture book and turn it into a three-act play,enthralling students.
He was among our literary giants. The Constantine Georgiou Library is at NYU in NYC.
He was a character, a friend, a critic, a genius. He shall be remembered that way.
