Brad Herzog, author of the new kids book Francis and Eddie (Why Not Books, hb., $17.95), will be at Blue Bicycle Books on Tues., July 2nd from 3 – 5 pm.
Francis and Eddie is the true story of 20-year-old amateur golfer Francis Ouimet and his ten-year-old caddie Eddie Lower, who shocked the golfing world 100 years ago by winning the 1913 U.S. Open. Francis lived across the street from the Brookline, MA course where the tournament was played and taught himself to play by sneaking onto the fairways. Against all odds, he and his four-foot-tall caddie then went on to defeat the game’s greatest players.
The book also features the evocative illustrations of Zachary Pullen, whose work has appeared in numerous publications, including Sports Illustrated. You can check out the Francis and Eddie book trailer here.
