    Author

    George Selden

    George Selden (1929-1989) was the author of A Cricket in Times Square, winner of the 1961 Newbery Honor and a timeless children's classic. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Selden received his B.A. from Yale, where he was a member of the Elizabethan Club and contributed to the literary magazine. He spent three summer sessions at Columbia University and, after college, studied for a year in Rome on a Fulbright Scholarship. People often asked Selden how he got the idea for The Cricket in Times Square. "One night I was coming home on the subway, and I did hear a cricket chirp in the Times Square subway station. The story formed in my mind within minutes. An author is very thankful for minutes like those, although they happen all too infrequently." The popular Cricket series grew to seven titles, including Tucker's Countryside and The Old Meadow. In 1973, The Cricket in Times Square was made into an animated film. Selden wrote more than fifteen books, as well as two plays. His storytelling blends the marvelous with the commonplace realities of life, and it was essential to him that his animal characters display true emotions and feelings.

      There are simply some books that you inadvertently read out loud to whoever is closest—cat or human. I found myself having a giant laugh and then being unable to resist sharing long passages of Carla Funk’s memoir. Though I worried that the religious

      The earth shook violently as the enormous metal monster closed in. It was 100m away, 50, 20 … then it was on me. As I watched its giant steel tentacle, with its whirling, screaming blade, stretch down towards me, I was conscious less of the fear of a

      Sweet story with good friends bickering and feeling bad about it. I read it while staying a block away from Time Square, where the main characters live in a pipe in the Times Square subway station.

      My children seemed to enjoy it quite a bit when I read it to them.Me? Found it to be ok but not extraordinary. I wish the author had mentioned the Bellinis; I think that would have been a neat thread to have running through all three books. Not hearing anything about them felt a little odd.
    • 5/5
      Cannot *believe* how good this was. Head-and-shoulders above The Cricket in Times Square. Miss Catherine, Mr. Smedley's 13-year-old Siamese cat, has become my very favorite literary feline.I loved the descriptions of Tucker's hoarding tendencies, too.
