Gentlemen:
Some months ago you published KING OF WRECK ISLAND, by Barbara Cooney, who is, we understand, a summer resident of this state.
Inasmuch as the book has a Maine background, we want to write to Miss Cooney about it; but reviews have perplexed us. From one, we notice she is referred to as "this 11-year-old dreamer of dreams," and another· states that she was a graduate of Smith College in 1937!.
Both seem unlikely, but we have no way of knowing which might be correct. It is not often that we are so interested in the age of an author; but Miss Cooney's age will, in this case, to a great extent determine the tone of our letter!
Can you help us? We shall be most grateful.
Very truly yours
