About the Author
Philip Wilkinson has written nearly 50 books for adults and children. They range from his first book, Amazing Buildings, which won an award from the American Institute of Architects, to A Celebration of Customs and Rituals of the World, which was endorsed by the United Nations. He has also written several successful TV tie-ins, including What the Romans Did for Us and Restoration. Wilkinson lives in the Cotswolds, England, with his wife and son.
From Booklist
Gr. 4-7. A well-rounded selection of archival photographs and other images illustrate this title in the World History Biographies series. Double-page spreads describe phases in Gandhi's life, from childhood to his tragic death, detailed in Wilkinson's straightforward, succinct language and in anecdotes, which will capture young people's attention and also humanize the great leader: as a young lawyer, for example, Gandhi was too shy to speak in courtrooms. Some spreads offer background on related subjects, such as the roots of Indian-British confrontations. Maps and photographs of Indian locations and a time line (running in a banner along the bottom of most pages) give further context, and a bibliography and a glossary conclude. A fine starting place for reports about Gandhi and Indian history, this book is also concise and lively enough to inspire young people's personal interest. Gillian Engberg
