Lives of the Writers by Kathleen Krull

Shakespeare wrote with a feather quill and ink; Emily Dickinson wrote with a fountain pen; Isaac Bashevis Singer wrote on a Yiddish typewriter. But what did such writers do when they weren't writing? What did Jane Austen eat for breakfast? What could make Mark Twain throw his shirts out the window? Why would Zora Neale Hurston punch a fellow elevator passenger? Lives of the Writers tells all that and more.

Kathleen Krull is known for producing award-winning nonfiction for children, such as Lives of the Explorers, Lives of the Musicians, and the other volumes in this famous series, all of which are drawn by Kathryn Hewitt. She's also the author of Harvesting Hope: Cesar Chavez's Tale, which was illustrated by Yuyi Morales, as well as The Beatles Were Fab (and They Were Funny) and Lincoln Tells a Joke: How Humor Saved the Presidency (and the Nation), which she co-wrote with Paul Brewer and had Stacy Innerst illustrate. She resides in the city of San Diego, California. Kathyleen Krull's website is kathleenkrull.com.
