Maxwell King: The Good Neighbor

Uploaded by Mystery Lovers Bookshop

Please join us for a very special event with Maxwell King, author of The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers. The Good Neighbor, the first full-length biography of Fred Rogers, tells the story of this utterly unique and enduring American icon. Drawing on original interviews, oral histories, and archival documents, Maxwell King traces Rogers’s personal, professional, and artistic life through decades of work, including a surprising decision to walk away from the show to make television for adults, only to return to the neighborhood with increasingly sophisticated episodes, written in collaboration with experts on childhood development.
