關於作者：
David Wisniewski wiz-NESS-key was born in Middlesex,
England, in 1953. After training at Ringling Brothers and Barnum
Bailey Clown College, he spent three years as a clown,
designing and constructing his own props, costumes, and gags. He
was subsequently hired by his future wife, Donna, as a performer
with a traveling puppet theatre. Married six months later, the
Wisniewskis started their own troupe, Clarion Shadow Theatre,
specializing in shadow puppetry. In the course of creating the
plays, puppets, and projected scenery, Mr. Wisniewski evolved the
storytelling techniques and art skills that eventually led to his
picture books with their unique cut-paper illustrations. His
retelling of GOLEM was awarded the 1997 Caldecott Medal. David
Wisniewski died in 2002 in the Maryland home he shared with his
wife and two children.
