"I'm aware of what kids like because I'm constantly in touch with them. Also, they say that a lot of people who write for children can remember their own childhoods vividly and I can remember my childhood very vividly." -- Eric Wilson

Wilson was voted 1992 Author of the Year by the Canadian Bookseller's Association.
