About the Author

Fired when she was a teenager from her library job for "reading too much," Kathleen Krull went on to become a highly successful children's book editor, reviewer, and author. Her curiosity about subjects that passionately interest her-music, people, nightmares, and American history are just a few-led her to create the "Lives of" books, as well as other notable children's books. Do you know the following tidbit about Kathleen Krull?: She married her next-door neighbor and they presently live in San Diego, California. Krull may be reached by e-mail at kkrull1@san.rr.com  or visit her website kathleenkrull.com
