Information About Authors and Illustrators:

• Two of the best print sources are Something About the Author and Children's Literature Review. Both are published by Gale Research. TCPL owns Something About the Author, which contains biographical information, lists of writings and awards, and often, remarks by the biographee. The Purdue libraries have both Something About the Author and Children's Literature Review, which is more concerned with critical evaluation of authors' work.



• The Children's Literature Web Guide - A comprehensive guide to children's literature, with information about authors, illustrators, awards, booklists, discussion, and more. http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~dkbrown/index.html



• Children'sLit.com - A commercial site with information about and links to sites about authors and illustrators. http://www.childrenslit.com/f_mai.htm



• Learning About the Author and Illustrator Pages - A collection of World Wide Web sites with information about authors and illustrators of children's books. Some of the people are covered extensively; some have very little information.
