Esther Forbes (18911967) garnered a Newbery Medal and an enduring place in children's literature with the publication of Johnny Tremain. Her adult novel, Paul Revere and the World He Lived In, won the Pulitzer Prize for history in 1943.
"This is Esther Forbes at her brilliant best. She has drawn the
character of Johnny with such sympathy and insight that he may take
his place with Jim Hawkins, Huck Finn and other young immortals." -

"This sweeping tale of redcoats and revolutionaries has a lot to
offer. Forbes, a historian, writes with detail and precision,
imbuing historical events with life and passion that is often
lacking in textbooks." - Common Sense Media
