Description
|
|
|
|
As she did for others with Lives of the Musicians, Lives of the Artists, Kathleen Krull here gives us lively, engaging profiles of 20 of the world's great authors, for readers 9 and up, often including some unexpected quirks of the writers' lives and personalities, as well as how their friends and neighbors saw them. Charlotte and Emily Brontė, for example, created a world of their own with their toys, which they called Glass Town, and it remained a fertile part of their imaginations all their lives, while Isaac Bashevis Singer was known to bark like a dog to entertain visiting children. Kathryn Hewitt illuminates these mini-biographies with deft caricatures and details from their lives.
