13、, Pennsylvania. I talked with her for our magazine recently. Here are some questions I asked and her answers to them.Q: What was the inspiration for your characters Judy Moody and Stink?A: My original inspiration came from growing up with so many sisters.We grew up in a family of readers and storyte

14、llers. I had all these funny stories about my sisters that I wanted to tell. The first Judy Moody book probably has the most stories that came from my childhood. After that, Judy and Stink really took on a life of their own. Everyone knows a “Judy Moody” in his/her life. Who are some of your favorit

15、e authors and what are some of your favorite books? Beverly Cleary with the Ramona books. Harriet The Spy by Louise Fitzhugh was also a really important book for me growing up.

20、buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of booksespecially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy proper books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.There are many street

21、s in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being the biggest bookshop in the world to the tiny, dusty

22、little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy（哲学）, politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books

23、 may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture（冒险） off the beaten path, to Farringdon

24、 Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrows（手推车） which line the gutters（贫民区）. And the collectors, some professional and some amateur（业余爱好
