Beverly Cleary - author of the Ramona books - has died just weeks away from being 105. I am so sad.
Ramona is probably one of my favourite literary characters ever created. Any one else here Beverly Cleary fans?

ahhh this makes me sad. I’m a big fan. Grew up on all of her books. Ramona has always been my favourite character!

I'm sad to hear she has died too, I loved the Ramona books.

I remember the books from when I was younger. They were wonderful.

104 is grand old age, though, and she was lucky enough to be creatively successful. An enviable life!
