Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:His boundless creativity brought him fame and fortune — neither of which changed his down-to-earth way of life — and his children's books sold millions of copies. But he was much more than "just" a children's writer. He collaborated with anyone who crossed his path, and found success in a wider range of genres than most artists could ever hope to master. He penned hit songs like "A Boy Named Sue" and "The Unicorn." He drew cartoons for Stars & Stripes and got his big break with Playboy. He wrote experimental plays and collaborated on scripts with David Mamet. With a seemingly unending stream of fresh ideas, he worked compulsively and enthusiastically on a wide array of projects up until his death, in 1999. Drawing on wide-ranging interviews and in-depth research, Rogak gives fans a warm, enlightening portrait of an artist whose imaginative spirit created the poems, songs, and drawings that have touched the lives of so many children — and adults. Review:"An authoritative and accessible biography, absorbing from cover to cover." Library Journal Synopsis:In this unauthorized biography, Rogak pulls all the strings together, telling the story of Shel Silversteins always complicated, always extraordinary life and establishing his reputation as one of the greatest, most unpredictable American artists. 8-page b&w photo insert. About the AuthorLisa Rogak is the author of more than forty books. Her most recent biography was The Man Behind the Da Vinci Code: An Unauthorized Biography of Dan Brown. She lives in New Hampshire.
