作者簡介

維吉爾．希利爾（Virgil Mores Hillyer）

　　美國傑出教育家，畢生從事中小學教育，酷愛歷史和藝術，喜歡旅行。出生於麻州韋茅斯鎮。哈佛大學教育系畢業後，在紐約的白朗寧學校教了兩年書，隨後遷往巴爾地摩，擔任卡爾維特學校的第一任校長。希利爾創建的小學函授教育系統，即「卡爾維特學校體系」，惠及世界各地的政府雇員、領事、軍官和傳教士的子女。　　

　　當希利爾校長於1899年到美國卡爾維特學校（Calvert School）走馬上任時，他還是一個年僅24歲的年輕人。然而，他有天生的教學異能，了解孩子需要什麼，知道如何講孩子才能聽明白，以及孩子成長的規律。

　　希利爾校長認為，孩子們寫作、閱讀和數學的基礎必須紮實。在此基礎上，他認為學生應當接受歷史、藝術、地理和科學的系統教育，意在培育熟悉周遭世界得全方位學生。希利爾深感傳統教科書的枯燥無味，立志為孩子編寫一套讀起來興味盎然的歷史、地理和藝術讀物，這便是這套書的由來。
