Paganini, Master of Strings

Pagainini: Master of Strings is a delightful, detailed biography written for children; this story of the brilliant Paganini is the perfect introduction to the composer's life.

This living book will give children a vivid picture of his impoverished childhood spent among the wharves in Genoa, his introduction to the world of music and rise to prominence, and finally to his time spent in the finest courts in Europe. Two melodies from his first Concerto are also included. Vintage pen-and-ink illustrations bring charm and whimsy to the text. 159 pages, hardcover.
