《儿童读物杂志》(Horn Book)书评
With extensive quotations from primary sources, annotated bibliographies, and copious background notes, the scholarly biographies present well-rounded portraits of important men and the societies that shaped and nourished their talents. Unfortunately, unimaginative prose, the absence of color, and an overabundance of boxed inserts will deter the casual browser. Only 'Mozart' contains a glossary. Bib., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
