About the Author:
James Baldwin was a self-educated American writer born in a rural Quaker settlement in Indiana in 1841. Few people in
his community owned any book other than the Bible, and reading was viewed with suspicion. However, Baldwin's own
home was an exception to the rule in this backwoods community, for Baldwin's father had assembled an extensive
personal library. From boyhood, he had a passion for reading and classic books, and read voluminously, suffering the
taunts of his school companions and neighbors members who considered too much book-learning the tool of the Devil.
