John Audubon - Young Patriot Series #12 Paperback

In Volume 12 of The Young Patriot Series, meet John Audubon as a boy whose love for birds became his legacy.
 
John's passion for drawing sends him into the fields and woods near his country house in pursuit of winged models. Games and adventures also beckon: John confronts a ghost in the old water mill tower, presents his friend Cecile with a surprise birthday gift (that goes horribly wrong!), and sails off to seek his fortune in America.

The adult John Audubon achieved worldwide fame as America’s leading wildlife artist. His book, Birds of America, is the standard against which all subsequent bird art has been measured. The young John Audubon, who never strays from his dreams, will inspire all children to follow theirs.
