Reissue (1954, Bobbs-Merrill)
(4) 4-6 History's All-Stars series. Illustrated by Al Fiorentino. Originally published in the Childhood of Famous Americans series, these fictionalized biographies are reissued with a new series name but are otherwise unchanged, dated-looking black-and-white illustrations and all. Focusing on events in each historical figure's childhood, the congenial narratives read smoothly with natural-sounding invented dialogue. Both books end "many years later..." with accounts of the subject's adult accomplishments. Review covers these History's All-Stars titles: Walt Disney and Betsy Ross.
