Harriet Beecher Stowe, Author of Uncle Tom's Cabin - Biography for Young Readers (Unabridged‪)‬

Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, the book that changed the course of the nation. It changed American history. Some say it was the most important book in the history of the United States.

Stowe was a strong and moral abolitionist. She was one of 13 children raised in a Puritan family in Litchfield, Connecticut. Her father was a renowned minister in the Church and one of her brothers became a prominent preacher and anti-slavery campaigner as well: Henry Ward Beecher. She was a gifted writer and though Uncle Tom's Cabin was only one of the many excellent literary works she authored, it was far and away the most impactful. It was the second best-selling book of the 19th Century. Only The Bible sold more copies.

In 1862, she went to the White House to meet Abraham Lincoln. History tells us that when the tall and lanky Lincoln met the diminutive Stowe he said to her, "So you are the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war." During the years she lived in Hartford, Connecticut, she was next-door neighbor to Mark Twain!

This is the true story of her life, narrated by award winning narrator Peter Lerman. Lerman is a nonfiction narrator and has recorded several biographies including Jackie Robinson, Franklin Roosevelt, Woody Guthrie, Al Smith, Townes Van Zandt and Al Smith, among others. His narration of a biography of rare book dealer, gambler, and fine art forger Johnny Jenkins won an Audiofile magazine 'Earphones Award'.
