World-renowned biographer Penelope Niven invests thousands of hours unearthing the keys to unlock the inner lives of some historic adventurers.
And now she's about to explore more than 70-boxes of never before seen private papers belonging to American author Thornton Wilder. These papers include letters, poems, journals of Wilder and other members of his family.

Plus, Dudley Shearburn reviews In The Tenneessee Country by Peter Taylor.
