Illustrated by
Colin Bootman.
Adler captures key events in Stowe's life and the impact of her famous novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, on national events. However, in an attempt to make the text both easy to read and informative, some statements (e.g., "Stowe's book was one of the causes of the Civil War") lack context and are potentially misleading. The accompanying paintings enhance the text. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib.
