Victoria Griffith
Victoria Griffith and Illustrator Eva Montanapi team up in the children's book, The Fabulous Flying Machines of Alberto Santos-Dumont (Abrams, $16.95). Turns out, while the Wright Brothers were gliding over Kitty Hawk, the charming Brazilian, Alberto Santos-Dumont, was making his own mark on the history of flight. Griffith has worked as an international journalist, writing about everything from Julia Child to the Amazon rain forest.
