520			_a"Boys Who Became Famous Men" by Harriet Pearl Skinner is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. This charming compilation recounts the childhood tales of well-known figures such as poets, artists, and musicians, illustrating how their early experiences shaped their futures. Each chapter focuses on a different character, including the painter Giotto and the composer Bach, offering readers a glimpse into their formative years and the moments that sparked their creative brilliance. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the story of Giotto, a young shepherd boy in the Apennines, who dreams of becoming a great artist. While tending to his father's sheep, he discovers his talent for drawing when he sketches a sheep named Beni on a flat stone. His spontaneous determination catches the attention of Cimabue, a renowned painter who invites Giotto to Florence to study art. This enchanting beginning sets the stage for the themes of aspiration and mentorship that permeate the stories, showcasing how the seeds of greatness are often planted in humble beginnings.
