Clifton Johnson

    Clifton Johnson fu un dedicato cronista della vita rurale, concentrandosi sugli abitanti dei piccoli centri e delle campagne. La sua prolifica produzione, che comprende oltre 125 libri e innumerevoli articoli, prendeva spesso vita attraverso le sue stesse illustrazioni e fotografie. Johnson esplorò e documentò la vita nella campagna americana e all'estero, dai viaggi rurali alla storia delle scuole di campagna. Il suo interesse per la letteratura per l'infanzia e l'educazione lo portò a raccogliere un'importante collezione di libri per ragazzi e scolastici, arricchendo il panorama letterario.
