Detailed Description : Several amazing biographies written and illustrated by Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaire should be in every child's library. These oversized books are filled with gorgeous stone lithographs and well-written, detailed text.
The authors worked for several years on each title, delivering books that show an honest portrayal and richness in character, style, and depth. Each book is refreshingly authentic in portraying its time period with joy, depth, and a touch of humor.
Following is a quote from the D'Aulaires' book, Columbus. 'Many people say that Columbus was poor and forsaken in his old age. That is not true. He wasn't poor, but he was bitter because he was not the richest and mightiest seaman in the world. Columbus was a great man. But he was not a modest man. He wanted too much, and so he did not get enough.'
