Alexander helped create the children's magazine ''Cricket'' and served on its editorial board, joined the library committee of World Book Encyclopedia in 1974, and served on the board of the Friends of the International Board on Books for Young People from 1982. He kept a strict routine, rising at 4 a.m. and writing until late afternoon whether or not he felt inspired, and he corresponded with readers, some of whom visited him at home. He died of cancer at Drexel Hill on 17 May 2007, a few weeks after the death of Janine, his wife of sixty-one years; his last novel, ''The Golden Dream of Carlo Chuchio'', appeared that August. Brigham Young University's Harold B. Lee Library maintains a permanent exhibit of his desk, typewriter, manuscripts, and editions. | Alexander helped create the children's magazine ''Cricket'' and served on its editorial board, joined the library committee of World Book Encyclopedia in 1974, and served on the board of the Friends of the International Board on Books for Young People from 1982.
