Description
Book Synopsis: The award-winning work is reissued as a Candlewick Picture Book Biography. George Frideric Handel always knew what he liked.

Even in his darkest hour, when it seemed everyone and everything were against him, Handel stayed true to himself. And because he did, he has become one of the best-loved composers in the world. In this absorbing biography, M. T. Anderson’s narrative and Kevin Hawkes’s stunning art illuminate the life and legacy of a musical visionary.
