Zora Neale Hurston

Informationen zum Autor Sandra Wallus Sammons was for many years a Florida elementary school librarian in Lake County. Learning of the dearth of books on Florida history aimed at fourth graders, she began writing biographies of Floridians who lived fascinating, inspirational lives. She has written all the books in the Pineapple Young Reader Biographies series: Marjory Stoneman Douglas and the Florida Everglades; Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and the Florida Crackers; The Two Henrys: Henry Plant and Henry Flagler and Their Railroad; Henry Flagler, Builder of Florida; Ponce de Leon and the Discovery of Florida; Zora Neale Hurston: Wrapped in Rainbows; and John and William Bartram: Travelers in Early America. Klappentext Zora Neale Hurston was a novelist, anthropologist, folklorist, and playwright who captured the true essence of African-Americans in the early twentieth century. Although her career was short lived and she died penniless and forgotten, Hurston is remembered today as one of America's greatest writers. This book traces Hurston's life in simple language designed for children in grades 3 through 6.
