May 1 Is National Mother Goose Day. I was born in a cotton patch in 1950, and I saw very few picture books until I left home. Yet, picture books became a huge part of my life. I credit Mother Goose and The Cow That Jumped Over the Moon for that.

While dying of tuberculosis George Orwell went to a remote Scottish house to write what he knew would be his final book: 1984. He submitted the manuscript in mid-1949, and died, on this day, January 21st, in 1950, aged 46. 1984 remains a warning.
