Phyllis Whitney Dies at age 104

Phyllis WhitneyI've written here before about writer Phyllis Whitney's historical novels for juveniles.

Whitney died yesterday after a brief illness. She had published her last book in 1997 at the age of 94. Sounds like she was a role model in more ways than one!

The official Phyllis Whitney website features a great page with the original covers of all her juvenile titles, with links to their synopses. Guess I have some catching up to do!

Thanks, Phyllis.
