This book was originally published in 1954. Robert Estienne was born in Paris in the early years of the sixteenth century, the son of a successful printer-bookseller. He became a printer himself, and one distinguished not only for the quality of his printing, but also for his scholarship. He was the most outstanding figure of the Parisian booktrade at the moment when that trade was one of the most important agencies of the various intellectual movements which we summarise as 'The Renaissance'. Estienne was not only a classical but also a biblical scholar and editor (he is remembered as much for his editions of the Bible as for the beauty of his Cicero or for his use of the Garamond Greek types). Mrs Armstrong gives a full-length historical study of an important and admirable figure.
Elizabeth Morgan Armstrong PhD has been teaching at James Madison University in Harrisonburg Virginia since 1998. She is currently finishing a second master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling there, and plans to practice in Equine Assisted Mental Health. Little Boy Little Boy is her first publication outside the academic field.
