RE: CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
Robert L. Wald et al.
Robert Wald (1926-2010) practiced law in Washington, DC for many years.1 He was by all accounts not only a good lawyer, but also a good writer. And he had a fine sense of humor. All those qualities are on display in Wald’s contri-bution to the correspondence reproduced on the pages fol-lowing this one (and outlined below). You should read them in chronological order:
• Elementary school student Nancy Berliner’s letter to literary agent Armitage Watkins (Feb. 16, 1965).
• Watkins’s response (Feb. 19, 1965).
• A letter from Wald to Watkins (Mar. 1, 1965).
• A paragraph describing the aftermath of that corre-spondence (undated).
All four pieces are reproduced from a privately published volume, From the desk of Robert L. Wald: Looking Back – A Ret-rospective (2006), which contains several examples of Wald’s useful and entertaining work.
