Born in the United States, Stephen Alcorn spent his
formative, teenage years in Florence, Italy, where he attended the
Istituto Statale d'Arte, an experience that infused his work with
an appreciation for history and a passion for experimentation in a
multitude of mediums. Since then he has embraced an equally broad
spectrum of themes and subjects, including the interpretation of
literary classics, interpretation of poetry, nineteenth-century
American history, and notably, the African-American experience --
resulting in a stream of award-winning projects for adult, young
adult, and young readers alike. America at War is Alcorn's fifth
collaboration with Lee Bennett Hopkins.
Mr. Alcorn lives with his wife, Sabina, and four cats in an
eighteenth-century farmhouse in the heart of Cambridge, New York,
surrounded by the pastoral farmland of Washington County. An
