Into the Woods: John James Audubon Lives His Dream

Into the Woods: John James Audubon Lives His Dream Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

As a young man, John James Audubon, the renowned American woodsman and artist, had to make a choice between following his father's dreams for him and discovering his own special destiny.

In this beautifully conceived book, Robert Burleigh imagines a conversation in which Audubon tells his father why he has chosen to forgo the ordinary life of a shop-keeper and instead live out in nature to develop his art and his relationship with the world. Illustrated not only with sumptuous images by Wendell Minor, but with actual drawings by Audubon himself, this book will appeal to his fans of all ages.

About the Author

Robert Burleigh's other books include A Man Named Thoreau, Flight: The Journey of Charles Lindbergh, Black Whiteness: Admiral Byrd Alone in the Atlantic, Home Run: The Story of Babe Ruth, Messenger Messenger, and, most recently, The Secret of the Great Houdini. He lives in Chicago, Illinois.
