“I will truly miss Don Sobol,” says Steven Meltzer, the associate publisher of Dutton Children’s Books and Sobol’s editor. “He was a generous writer who shared with boys and girls a lasting legacy of childhood. In the years I have worked with Don I have met people from all walks of life who have fond memories of his ‘Encyclopedia Brown’ books and now share them with their own children and grandchildren.”

More sad news for the children’s book community: “‘Encyclopedia Brown’ Author, Donald J. Sobol, Dies at 87.”
