Into the Woods: John James Audubon Lives His Dream
by Robert Burleigh

Into the Woods: John James Audubon Lives His Dream Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

As a young man, John James Audubon, the renowned early American woodsman and artist, had to make a choice between following his father's dreams for him and discovering his own destiny. In this beautifully conceived book, Robert Burleigh imagines a conversation in which Audubon tells his father, in lyric verse, why he has chosen to forego the ordinary life of a shopkeeper and live in nature. Including excerpts from Audubon's journals, and illustrated with sumptuous images by Wendell Minor and with actual drawings by Audubon himself, this is a special tribute to a man who had the courage of his convictions — and gave the world the gift of his art.
