Lloyd Alexander

Lloyd Alexander
I can't single out one of my books or characters as a favorite. In the same way that I don't have a favorite kidney, my books are organically all part of myself. I might even say that put all together, the books are one ongoing, developing story - which, not coincidentally, happens to be my own lifestory.
Lloyd Alexander
Is there worse evil than that which goes in the mask of good?
