(3) K-3 Illustrated by Miles Hyman. Mannis's partial but intriguing biography of pioneering architect Julia Morgan focuses on her struggle to earn credentials and her success in early-twentieth-century California, culminating in the design of William Randolph Hearst's castle. Hyman's soft lines and rosy gold palette emphasize the architectural landscapes and structures that influenced Morgan and those which she helped shape. An author's note gives additional facts. Reading list.
