Syd Hoff

Succumbed to pneumonia on May 12, 2004, after ninety-one years on this planet, most of them spent drawing socially responsible cartoons or illustrations for his many childrens books.

For more information about this fellow, visit www.SydHoff.org, a site being developed by Hoff's niece, Carol Edmonton. Carol's site includes a link to the de Grummand Children's Literature Collection at the University of Southern Mississippi, where much of Hoff's personal papers are kept.

Finally, for a "nearly complete" list of Hoff's books -- more than 200 of them(!) -- visit http://web.archive.org/web/20010305220335/http://brettbayne.com/sydhoff.html

Bravo, Syd Hoff!
