Lloyd Alexander died.

Where's that cauldron when you need it...

Alexander's Prydain chronicles were a favorite of mine when I was a kid.

I'm not sure the Cauldron-Born Lloyd Alexander would write many books that I'd want _my_ kid to read. At least, not till he's a teenager.

Besides, they'd be competition for [livejournal.com profile] icebluenothing...

This provides another piece of evidence for my Cosmic Balance theory.

A few months ago, Gerald Ford died, the poster boy for white and geeky, and just a couple of days later, the Godfather of Soul passed on. This week, it was Falwell, a man more opposed to people thinking for themselves than which I cannot imagine, and now Lloyd Alexander, whose writings not only praised free thinking, but engendered such in his readers.
