[From Good Reads] Nellie Smith and her parents arrive at their summer home on Lake Iroquois and are adopted by a friendly bahagohunk, a dragon-like creature that looks like a flying crocodile. XX [From the author's obituary] Chad Walsh, a longtime English professor, poet and writer, died on Jan. 17 at The Arbors, a nursing home in Shelburne, Vt. He was 76 years old and lived in South Burlington, Vt. Mr. Walsh's vast literary output included religious and children's books as well as volumes of poetry. He also wrote two books about C. S. Lewis, the author of children's fiction and adult fantasies: "C. S. Lewis: Apostle to the Skeptics" (1949) and "The Literary Legacy of C. S. Lewis" (1979). One of Mr. Walsh's poems, "The Archaic Hours," was the basis for a dance by Martha Graham in 1969. It was probably inevitable that Mr. Walsh should write about Mr. Lewis, whose own books helped convert Mr. Walsh from agnosticism to Christianity. In 1949, four years after that conversion, Mr. Walsh was ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church. Eventually, he served during summers as a guest preacher at churches throughout the United States. Most of the time, however, Mr. Walsh was in Beloit, Wis., where he was a professor of English at Beloit College, a liberal arts school. He taught there for more than 30 years after joining the faculty in 1945. He served as chairman of the English department and editor of The Beloit Poetry Journal, a publication he helped found in 1950. From the late 1940's into the 1970's, Mr. Walsh contributed many poems and numerous reviews to The New York Times Book Review. Mr. Walsh's books for children include "Knock and Enter" (1953), an introduction to Christianity in the form of a novel, and "Nellie and Her Flying Crocodile" (1956). His other books include "The Psalm of Christ: Forty Poems on the Twenty-Second Psalm" (1964) and "God at Large" (1971), an examination of the void that the author said had been left by the belief that God was dead. [About the artist] Marc Simont (November 23, 1915 - July 13, 2013) was a Paris-born American artist, political cartoonist, and illustrator of more than a hundred children's books. Inspired by his father, Spanish painter Joseph Simont, he began drawing at an early age. Simont settled in New York City in 1935 after encouragement from his father, attended the New York National School of Design, and served three years in the military. Simont's first illustrated children's book was published in 1939. He won the 1957 Caldecott Medal for U.S. children's book illustration. Inscribed by Author(s).
