Children's Literary Salons: Margaret Wise Brown & Antoine de Saint-Exupery: Parallels in Their Life, Comparison in Their Literature

Date and Time
November 1, 2014
Event Details

Ten years date of birth and ten east to west side Manhattan Avenues separate two renowned authors in their distinct and distinguished literary field. Vicissitudes of life bring the two close together, without their ever having met in New York City to the extent both can be viewed as soul brother & sister or, at least, soul mates.

 

Join Saint-Exupery expert Howard Scherry in his return visit to the Children's Literary Salon as he discusses children's authors Margaret Wise Brown ( "Writer of Songs and Nonsense," as she wished to be remembered on her Maine Island engraved epitaph) and Antoine de Saint-Exupery (legendary aviator and author of the fairy tale "unique in all the world").
