Clifton Johnson

    Clifton Johnson war ein engagierter Chronist des ländlichen Lebens, der sich auf die Bewohner kleiner Städte und landwirtschaftlicher Gebiete konzentrierte. Sein umfangreiches Werk, das über 125 Bücher und unzählige Artikel umfasst, wurde oft durch seine eigenen Illustrationen und Fotografien zum Leben erweckt. Johnson erforschte und dokumentierte das Leben auf dem amerikanischen Land und im Ausland, von ländlichen Reisen bis zur Geschichte von Landschulen. Sein Interesse an Kinderliteratur und Bildung führte zur Zusammenstellung einer bedeutenden Sammlung von Jugend- und Schulbüchern, die die literarische Landschaft bereichern.
