Description

The most illustrious men and women of the past would have much to teach us if only, by some miracle of time travel, we could borrow an hour or so of their time - and get them to tell us just what it was that really mattered to them. Each book in this series enables us to do just that.

This is a short book with an biography of Newton, and then a faked interview session where Newton answers questions about his life. The series has been renamed Conversations with ... some well known person and is a good light summary of Newton's life. It would be a good book for an advanced reader in public school.
