About the Author

(1920- ) Martha Alexander has written and illustrated a host of books for children with a fanciful soft touch that reminds many of the precarious and magical world of childhood. She lives in Hawaii.

Loganberry Legacy

These are charming books featuring Alexander's soft pencil and watercolor illustrations and quirky sense of humor that remembers both the delights and frustrations of childhood. It doesn't surprise me that kids respond to them or that grown-ups remember them in that nostalgic. warm place in their hearts.  Alexander's first book was published in 1966, and she's still writing!
