E. L. Konigsburg
/Open Letters Monthly mourns the death of E.L. Konigsburg, author of over twenty children's books, including The Second Mrs. Giaconda, The View from Saturday, and her immortal classic, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. You took your readers (of all ages) seriously, and your sense of play was infectious. You'll be badly missed.
