Nathaniel Benchley Knihy
13. listopad 1915 – 14. prosinec 1981
Nathaniel Benchley se věnoval psaní pro mladé čtenáře, přičemž jeho díla často poučovala o zvířatech nebo vycházela z historických zasazení. Prokázal schopnost ponořit se do rozmanitých témat a míst, od dánského odboje během druhé světové války po střet kultur na Manhattanu. Prostřednictvím poutavých příběhů přibližoval mladým myslím složité historické události a kulturní rozdíly. Jeho talent spočíval ve vytváření nezapomenutelných postav a prostředí, které čtenáře vzdělávaly i bavily.

Great for home or classroom units on and discussions about colonial America and the start of the American Revolution. "Benchley's expressive words and Lobel's vivid drawings portray a realistic story," Publishers Weekly wrote.Father and son rushed to the village green. Other Minutemen were already there.

Benchley and Bogart were friends, so this 1975 biography is not a critical study, not an objective look at Humphrey Bogart, but a loving portrait.
