内容简介 "It does a man no good to be free until he learns how to live."

These were the words of Amos Fortune, born the son of a king of the At-mun-shi tribe in Africa. When Amos was only fifteen years old, he was captured by slave traders and brought to Massachusetts, where he was sold at auction. Although his freedom had been taken, Amos never lost his dignity and courage. He dreamed of being free and of buying the freedom of his closest friends. By the time he was sixty years old, Amos Fortune began to see those dreams come true. Amos Fortune, Free Man is a Newbery Award winner that is based on a true story.
作者简介 Elizabeth Yates (1905–2001) wrote more than fifty books for children. Nora Unwin (1907–1982) illustrated more than one hundred books for children.
