Biography of Ellen Levine
Ellen Levine has always been drawn to stories of people who struggled for justice, and of ordinary people who did extraordinary things. She was fascinated by Henry "Box" Brown, whose escape is recounted in The Underground Railroad by William Still, first published in 1872.
Ms. Levine was awed by Henry’s ingenious idea and moved by his incredible courage.
