Expert Reviews
"Butler's illustrations, in full-spread paintings resembling murals and incorporated with historical photographs and portraits, vibrantly wrap the book together."
Reviewer: Jeanne Fox-Alston, (Washington Post Book World)
"....this is also a useful and well-thought-out reference. The text and excerpts could very well encourage children to read on their own the novels and poems mentioned."
