Contemporary Authors - Vol 16

This series allows students to look into each author's life from a useful vantage point, because each volume presents about 20 autobiographical essays written exclusively for the series. Varying in length from 10,000 to 15,000 words, these author essays offer interesting thoughts and reflections.

To enhance interest and enjoyment, each essay is ilustrated with photographs supplied by the author, often from the family album. Additional reference material includes bibliographies for each author, a cumulative index to personal and place names, titles of books, and similar items mentioned in the autobiographical essays.
