"Wahl's career has been both varied and adventurous. He began authoring and publishing children's books in 1964, achieving both artistic and commercial success immediately with the now classic books Pleasant Fieldmouse, Cabbage Moon, Cobweb Castle, and others. Noted artists such as John Alcorn (artist) , Edward Gorey, Steven Kellog, Mercer Mayer, Norman Rockwell, Maurice Sendak, and others illustrated his picture books. He soon added story books to his output with the provocative How The Children Stopped The Wars. Wahl quickly developed a reputation for playful, empowering narratives with intriguing characters. Over time, his works have demonstrated mastery of a wide variety of topics and styles. He has given many readings and presentations of his books as well lectured on writing. His most recent publication is The Hunter (2018)." (from Wikipedia) .
