Illustrated by
Charles S. Pyle.
Bowen's sophisticated text zooms in for a close-up of the Red Sox legend's 1941 season when "the Kid" racked up a whopping .406 batting average. Pyle's Norman Rockwell-esque paintings, though a little stiff, ably convey the era. A handful of black-and-white archival photos and Williams's '41 stats are included.
