Biografía breve
[from San Diego State University Library website]
Peter F. Neumeyer was born in Germany in 1929. Fleeing the Nazis, he and his family immigrated to the United States in 1936. After receiving his undergraduate degree, master's degree, and doctorate (in 1963) in English at UC Berkeley, Neumeyer taught at Harvard University until 1969. It was there that Neumeyer taught one of the first literary courses on children's books in North America. He also taught at State University of New York (Stony Brook) and West Virginia University, and at summer courses on children's literature at Columbia University. Additionally, Neumeyer has lectured in Sweden and Finland.

Neumeyer came to San Diego State University in 1978. At SDSU, he developed in the English Department what has become the largest children's literature program in North America. Neumeyer has published extensively on children's literature topics, including The Annotated Charlotte's Web. He has also written about Franz Kafka, Tove Jansson, Richard Kennedy, and Randall Jerrell.

Outside of academia, Neumeyer collaborated with illustrator and friend Edward Gorey on three books, the Donald and the… series. He is also a poet, and has published numerous poems in literary journals. After retirement from SDSU in 1993, Neumeyer became a prolific reviewer of children's books for various publications including Prodigy, Mothering Magazine, Parent's Choice, San Diego Home and Garden, and the Los Angeles Times. In 2005, he received the Children's Literature Association's Anne Deveraux Jordan Award for his contributions to the field.

adult nonfiction; correspondence and illustrations. Notes to self: (1)write more, wittier letters (though not necessarily as rambling as EG's--unless you qualify as an eccentric-artist type, which I don't) and (2) get myself some acrylic paints and inks so I can make lovely water-resistant (postal service-proof) drawings like these.

A simple, funny little book about a boy and his encounter with a tree, and the resulting treatment of the splinter he acquired. Lovely illustrations. I had never run across the Donald books before--a surprise treat!

Neumeyer|Edward Gorey|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327891958s/11461883.jpg|16396043] goes into so much detail about all of the conversations behind the creation of the Donald books that I just had to pick up my own copies of [b:Donald And The... / Donald Has A Difficulty|13607318|Donald And The... / Donald Has A Difficulty|Peter F.

Any excuse to pore over Edward Gorey's marvelous illustrations, and the quirky stories by Neumeyer are just an added bonus.
