Bought this book as a present to give with one of AA's photographs to a friend in Europe that is not familiar with AA's work. Haven't read the book myself but chose this book because it had both text about him and his life as well as photograhps of his work and really good reviews
 A great intro to a great photographer September 20, 2002

Even though this is sold as a children's book, it is beautifully produced with the full approval of the Ansel Adams Trust, and it provides an excellent introduction to this fascinating man who once thought he would become a classical pianist. Ms. Gherman discusses not only the events, people, and surroundings that influenced Ansel Adams's work but also his incredible impact on the art of photography and the places he photographed. This book is perfect for budding photographers and long-time admirers of Ansel Adams, especially those who might be a bit daunted by his very dense autobiography or his complex technical manuals. An insightful and interesting read about his life and art, full of wonderful photographs of and by Ansel.
