Excerpts:

...Don graduated from the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, which was
his well-known concert violinist dad’s idea.  Our father, William J.
Madden, was also a magician.  When he saw Don’s creative flair, he
envisioned pulling a talented artist son instead of a rabbit out of his
hat.

Soon after graduating, Don’s talent manifests in his humorous drawings
and illustrations appearing in magazines and in national advertising. 
He became a well-known illustrator of children’s books, including “The
Wartville Wizard.”

Besides being a talented artist, my dear departed artistic brother Don
Madden was an effective writer whose works he drew from knowledge he had
amassed from such diverse interests as nature, archeology, literature,
music and history...
