"Here is a book that makes great musicians very friendly and human. The stories are all true -- and all interesting. The tell how Edward McDowell hired his older brother for two pennies to bang the piano while he read a new book instead of practicing; how little Wolfgang Mozart tamed the customs guard with his music; how Walter Damrosch had stage fright over his first appearance as a cymbalist. The tell of musicinas of long ago -- and musicians of today, of their homes and childhood pranks, their surrounding influences and character. These are outstanding biographical sketches of the childhood of great musicians, written by a musician for older boys and girls." - from the inner front jacket flap.
