This book opens with a foreword by special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen(The 7th Voyage of Sinbad) and a biographical essay on Knight by WilliamStout (The New Dinosaurs). The autobiographical pieces featureillustrations by Mark Schultz (Xenozoic Tales). To round out the volume, it closes with memories from his granddaughter Rhoda Knight Kalt andappreciations from prominent names in the arts and sciences, from Ray Bradburyto Ian Tattersall. Though Knight once said "No one interests me less thanCharles Knight," find out why artists such as Frank Frazetta, Mark Hallett, DougHenderson, Joe Kubert, Al Williamson, and Bernie Wrightson have said that no oneinterests them more
My fourth-grade son used this book for research for a report on Charles Knight. He enjoyed the book tremendously and found it very useful. He's a strong reader, so the prose might be a little advanced for young children. The story of Charles Knight, however, is inspirational and fascinating to anyone who loves dinosaurs and/or movie making.
