L. KonigsburgEarlyWordchildren's literaturechildren's litchildren's booksauthors“Konigsburg grew up poor, in a family that would have rather she’d focused on “dusting furniture or baking cookies” rather than reading, but says that when she started teaching children she realized that even the girls she would have envied as a teenager were just as “uncomfortable inside” as she’d been. “The essential problems remain the same. The dressing that goes on the problems changes. But the kids I write about are asking for the same things I wanted. They want two contradictory things. They want to be the same as everyone else, and they want to be different from everyone else. They want acceptance for both.””<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.themarysue.com/e-l-konigsburg-mixed-up-files-death/">From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler Author E. L.
