Encyclopedia of World Writers, Beginnings To 20th Century presents a list of the world’s visionaries and their masterpieces, covering many centuries from the earliest recorded writings. Entries include discussions of poetry, fiction, religious writings, drama, epics, history, political science, maxims, biography, philosophy, and nonfiction. Each entry is followed by the suggestion of a translation in English of the original work whenever available. The main considerations that ruled the selection of writers and works were their intrinsic value, their interest for young contemporary scholars, and their geographic and linguistic diversity.

The Tale of Genji was written in the eleventh century by Murasaki Shikibu, a lady of the Heian court. It is universally recognized as the greatest masterpiece of Japanese prose narrative, perhaps the earliest true novel in the history of the world. Until now there has been no translation that is both complete and scrupulously faithful to the original text. Edward G. Seidensticker's masterly rendering was first published in two volumes in 1976 and immediately hailed as a classic of the translator's art. It is here presented in one unabridged volume, illustrated throughout by woodcuts taken from a 1650 Japanese edition of The Tale of Genji.

A day doesn’t go by when a child, parent, or teacher doesn’t ask for assistance in choosing books—good books. With a little bit of questioning, we can usually figure out what a person really wants. Many good sources, both in print and online, index children’s books.
This book, however, is formatted in the way children ask their questions, such as “Do you have any books about sports?”
These titles are only the beginning of the discovery of good books. We hope that one good book will lead young readers to another and then another. We hope this book will be a helpful resource for children, librarians, and teachers in finding the books that will entice, encourage, and sustain the love of reading.
