I am currently reading the biography of Dare Wright, the lonely and seductively intriguing author of the controversial "Lonely Doll" children's series. The books were first published in 1957 to much success, but were later cited for being indecent and politically incorrect due to many different aspects of the stories including the picture of the lonely doll, Edith, being spanked by Mr. Bear.
I have found the story of Dare Wright and her isolated childhood to be both fascinating and terrifying, and as an artist always struggling with the why and wherefore of the arts I am continually driven to read her story.
click on this link to see the article at NPR, I highly recommend the book!

Hey, Hope you all come to Paul's bday party on Saturday at Howl at the Moon around 9:00. I left a message with Eric to pass it on. So hopefully we will see you there!
Hey, I heard about this on NPR, I will check it out. I've seen the pictures from her stories before too, eerily creepy. Tell your husband to start posting.
