(2) 4-6 Schanzer calls explorer John Smith "probably the greatest escape artist on the planet" in his day. She organizes her account by his various "escapes," revealing a restless, quick-thinking spirit. The economical text gives just enough background to contextualize Smith's experiences. Comic-strip panels summarize some of his exploits, while traditional spreads relate others in more detail. A larger-than-life figure well worth rediscovering. Bib., ind.
