Audio Reviews:

"This audiocassette provides an entertaining introduction to the lives of 19 literary giants of the centuries. Both narrators are very dramatic and expressive, have good diction and read at a sprightly pace - this is a great way to introduce authors to young readers."
                    -School Library Journal
 
"This format could easily generate interest in learning more about the person - and reading the literary creations."
                    -Kliatt
 
"Krull's deliciously gossipy thumbnail biographies make a smashing transition to audiocassette - every bit as fascinating for adults as for children."
                     starStarred Review, Publishers Weekly
 
"The biographies touch on highlights, emphasizing off-beat details...designed to capture the imaginations of young listeners."
                     -AudioFile

SYNOPSIS:

From Cervantes to Langston Hughes, each of these 19 writers is respectfully exposed for their idiosyncracies as well as their contributions to the world of literature. What they ate, what they wore, who they loved and who their friends were - it's all here. See Curricular Connections for complete listing of writers profiled.
