Robert Fulghum

Robert Fulghum (born 1937) is an American author, primarily of short essays. He has worked as a Unitarian minister (at the Edmonds Unitarian Church in Edmonds, Washington amongst other communities), artist, and teacher as well. He came to prominence in the US when his first collection, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten (1986), stayed on the New York Times bestseller lists for nearly two years. Throughout this collection, subtitled "Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things," Fulghum expounds his down-home philosophy of seeing the world though the eyes of a child. His prose style is very simple and direct, and finds life-affirming maxims in mundane matters as zoos, leaf-raking and dusting. His other collections include:
  • It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It
  • Uh-Oh
  • Maybe (Maybe Not)
  • From Beginning to End -- The Rituals of Our Lives
  • True Love
  • Words I Wish I Wrote
He has written one novel, titled Third Wish.
