![]() Her first job was as a librarian in Yakima, Washington, where she met many children who were searching for the same books that she had always hoped to find as a child herself. She moved to California to attend the University of California, Berkeley, and after graduation with a B.A in English in 1938, studied at the School of Librarianship at the University of Washington in Seattle, where she earned a degree in librarianship in 1939. Thereafter, she was a frequent visitor to the library, though she rarely found the books she most wanted to read - those about children like herself. It wasn't until she was in third grade that she found enjoyment from books, when she started reading The Dutch Twins by Lucy Fitch Perkins. She was slow in learning to read, due partly to her dissatisfaction with the books she was required to read and partly to an unpleasant first grade teacher. When she was 6, her family moved to Portland, Oregon, where she went to grammar and high school. ![]() Mouse.īeverly Cleary was born Beverly Atlee Bunn in McMinnville, Oregon. ![]() Some of her best known and loved characters are Ramona Quimby and her sister Beatrice ("Beezus"), Henry Huggins, and Ralph S. ![]() Her characters are normal children facing challenges that many of us face growing up, and her stories are liberally laced with humour. ![]() Beverly Cleary (ApMarch 25, 2021) was the author of over 30 books for young adults and children. ![]() ![]() ![]() Taken to hospital, he lingered on for four days, but never recovered and on October 7th Edgar Allan Poe died at the age of 40. In 1849 he was found sick, injured and semi-conscious in a Baltimore tavern. The poem’s instant popularity gave him a new visibility in literary circles, but his personal situation remained desperate: poverty, illness, drink, and the physical decline and ultimate death of Virginia in 1847 led to his untimely and premature decline. ![]() In 1836 he married his cousin Virginia but despite his prolific activities – journalism, poetry, lecturing, short stories, publishing, criticism and experimentation with fictional genres, including the detective novel which he virtually invented with the publication of The Murders in the Rue Morgue (1841) – he received scant recognition for his efforts until the publication of The Raven in 1845. ![]() His stepfather’s disapproval shattered their fragile relationship and Poe left home to seek his fortune. Now styled as Edgar Allan Poe, he distinguished himself at the University of Virginia but was equally adept at collecting debts from his assiduous gambling.

Now, as the company turns 30 this year, Shabby Chic has taken on a life of its own. Rachel's dream of a quiet life was soon upended, replaced with a bigger dream: "inspiring women to put together a home that feels like a really great nest for them." She got to work, designing her own products and creating a brand that transcended slipcovers or a single storefront. "Truthfully, within three weeks of opening the store, it was like, 'Whoa, this is-this is going to be quite different.' I had to work out how to handle that." At the time, that high-low mix wasn't all that common-but it caught on like wildfire. ![]() ![]() "I like that juxtaposition of having a humble home, maybe a little cottage, but giving it that twinkly kind of glamour," Rachel explains, walking through her store.
