Ludwig Van Beethoven – I would have gladly mingled with you
Ludwig Van Beethoven, one of the most influential composers of all time, started to lose his hearing in his late-twenties and as a result, although he continued to compose, distanced himself from friends and family. At the age of 32, … Continue reading
Norman Rockwell – This is the second fan letter of my long career
It’s nice to know that someone as supremely gifted as Norman Rockwell(born on this day in 1894) wrote fan letters. Realise too that this particular example wasn’t penned by Rockwell as a child but in 1948 when he was both 54 … Continue reading
Jim Henson – Scientifically yours
I think it’s safe to assume that after NASA successfully landed two rovers onMars in January of 2004, the momentous event was quickly eclipsed by the following jealousy-tinged letter of congratulations, sent to the JPL days later by a certain Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his accident-prone assistant, Beaker. Note: Although … Continue reading

Queen Victoria – I cannot remain silent
April 29th, 1865: Queen Victoria, still grieving and “utterly broken-hearted” following the death of Prince Albert four years previous, writes an empathetic letter of condolence to Mary Todd Lincoln following the recent assassination of her husband, Abraham Lincoln.

Ray Bradbury – That man basked in your light
It’s not often you see a letter of thanks from one legendary figure to another, and certainly not as heartfelt as this example. It was written in 1976 by Ray Bradbury and sent to fellow author Robert Heinlein; a man who clearly influenced … Continue reading
Ray Bradbury – Be your own self. Love what YOU love.
When asked in 1991 to describe an obstacle he had faced during his lifetime and the subsequent effect of his overcoming it, author Ray Bradbury replied to schoolteacher William Stanhope with the following letter. His inspiring response, along with those of a … Continue reading
Ray Bradbury – I am not afraid of robots. I am afraid of people.
In 1974, Brian Sibley took it upon himself to write to his favourite author: science-fiction novelist Ray Bradbury. In his letter, Brian, also a writer, spoke of his deep admiration for Bradbury’s books and posed some questions related to Disney, a subject close to his heart. … Continue reading
Ray Bradbury – No way!
Here we have an awkward but amusing letter from Fahrenheit 451author Ray Bradbury that hints at an embarrassing misunderstanding. I’m afraid I know nothing of the back-story with regards to this note; feel free to chime in below with any information you may have. I’d … Continue reading
