About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
Newbery winner Freedman (Lincoln: A Photobiography) has again produced a
vivid, superior biography. This time focusing on a well-known pair of brothers,
he effectively transforms our perception of the subjects as distant cultural
icons into tireless, flesh-and- blood heroes. In understated, involving
prose--skillfully laced with pertinent excerpts from journals, letters and
contemporary accounts--Freedman lays out a clear and compelling history of the
early aviation experiments that culminated in the legendary flight at Kitty
Hawk. As with Lincoln , photographs are integral to Freedman's exposition and he
makes ample, effective use of the many astonishing photos taken by the brothers
in order to better document their experiments. Youngsters cannot fail to come
away with a heightened understanding of the Wrights' dedication to manned flight
and to the painstakingly slow process of invention.
