Biographies of 29 of the Most Important Children's Authors, Written Especially for Early Readers

Author Biographies From Our Earliest Issues

After ten years, our early issues are just about sold out. But some of the finest, and most beloved children's authors appear in these volumes. Rather than let them go out of print, we've decided to create a new special volume: All Authors.

Biography for Beginners: All Authors contains complete entries on all the authors who appeared in the 1995, 1996, and 1997 editions of Biography for Beginners. This new volume includes new information on the authors, updated bibliographies, as well as new addresses and web sites for each author. We've also added full color pictures and illustrations, and indexes for Caldecott and Newbery award winners who appear in the volume.
