| John Bellairs corresponded with various friends over the years, passing along news of new books or family vacations as well as the occasional piece of artwork. Some of his letters were typed, using the same portable typewriter he used throughout his life and on which he wrote most or all of his books. This is fortunate for those attempting to decipher his atrocious left-handed scrawl, seen in letters and autographed book dedications. While the writing was lousy, Bellairs made up for it by being a witty doodler, often including small drawings or full-page artwork to his letters. That said, it is tempting to wonder if he ever considered illustrating his own writing. Collected here are a handful of examples of John's wit and thoughts on life as seen through his pen. |
