Happy 90th, Don Madden! (Writer/illustrator: "The Wartville Wizard," 1986)

[leno...@yahoo.com]

He lives in Ballston Spa, New York.

(I may be taking a risk, but I DID find a couple of sources - Whitepages and Instant Checkmate - that implied he was alive. Only strange thing is, they said he's still 89!)

He's illustrated books by Rudyard Kipling and William Jay Smith, among dozens of others.

("The Wartville Wizard." "An old man fights a town of litterbugs by magically sending each piece of trash back to the person who dropped it.")

(Don Madden tells the story behind that book)

The only other book he wrote was "Lemonade Serenade."
