(4) YA World Writers series. "Reading for me was a refuge...It was almost sinful how much I liked it" (Amy Tan).

Many photographs, some applicable, some that seem like an afterthought, illustrate the solid narratives. Timeline, websites. Bib., ind. Review covers these World Writers titles: Self-Reliance, C. S. Lewis, and From China to America.
