Summary
Shel was a friend, collaborator, and confidante. This charming portrait of the great writer of children's books presents him in a fresh new humane light. What he was like as a man and a friend. What interested and inspired him. What he would do and not do. The women in his life.
We worked in the Italian cafes of Greenwich Village. What did he feel was lacking in his legendary career as author of books, songs, and plays?
Walk with us. See, listen, and enjoy a Shel Silverstein not only for kids.
A university professor recently wrote: "Readers will be riveted by the portrait of the beloved children's author that emerges in these pages. Not exactly what they may have expected."
About Anthony Valerio, Shel wrote: "He knows his people. He knows his craft. He gets in, tells his story and gets out. It's what good writing should be".
"Shel was one of my people. I was one of his people. This is our story." (A.V.)
