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."

Review, Publishers Weekly
"The biographies touch on
highlights, emphasizing off-beat details...designed to capture the imaginations
of young listeners."
