About this title

From the Publisher:

Kathie Lee Gifford recommends The Jester & Pharley
Kathie Lee Gifford, in her first holiday gift recommendation of the season, said on "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee" about David Saltzman's "The Jester Has Lost His Jingle"(Dec. 8, 1998): "This is one of the sweetest books I have ever read in my life. It's a beautiful story. It will be a blessing in somebody's life."

About the Author:

David Saltzman graduated magna cum laude as an English and art major from Yale University in 1989, receiving the David Everett Chantler Award as the senior who throughout his college career best exemplified the qualities of courage and strength of character and high moral purpose.

During his senior year at Yale, David was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. For the next year-and-a-half, he kept a comprehensive journal of his thoughts and drawings while completing The Jester Has Lost His Jingle and other stories.

In his journal, David wrote: The best we can do is live life, enjoy it and know it is meant to be enjoyed – know how important and special every time...moment...person is. And at the end of the day say, I have enjoyed it, I have really lived the moment. That is all. All is that. Is. Is is such a powerful word. It's not was or will be. It is IS: Is is alive.

David died on March 2, 1990, 11 days before his 23rd birthday.
