Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Robert Burleigh is the author of several children's books, including A Man Named Thoreau and Block Whiteness: Admiral Byrd Alone in the Antarctic, both published by Atheneum. Formerly a producer of audiovisual educational materials, Mr. Burleigh now works full-time as a writer and artist. He is also an avid cyclist -- though only for fun! His knowledge about the worklife of bike messengers comes from a close friend who spent many years braving the traffic and the changing weather in downtown Chicago. The material and vision in Messenger, Messenger is thus derived from many hours of interviews and conversations with a person well aware of that very special world.
