Clarence William Anderson (1891 – 1971), born in Wahoo, Nebraska, and known professionally as C.W. Anderson, was an author and illustrator of children's books. Anderson had an interest in horses and drawing. When he wasn't out riding horses, he was drawing them, taking great interest in their bone structure and conformation. Anderson started his career by illustrating for other authors, but eventually began developing texts to accompany his realistic and lively black and white drawings. He is best known for his "Billy and Blaze" book series. The adventures of Billy and Blaze revolve around proper care of the horse, while teaching a lesson. Anderson would go to great lengths to give accurate information. He would even go on to write ''Heads Up, Heels Down'' as a training tool for young horse lovers. All of the stories Anderson wrote would be based on true stories or people that he knew-only the plots were fictitious. By the end of Anderson's life, he had written and illustrated over thirty-five horse books, and had also created covers for the ''Saturday Evening Post''. Anderson is the namesake for Andy's Summer Playhouse, a youth theater in Wilton, NH. == Artwork portfolios == * All Thoroughbreds, Harper and Brothers Publishers, 1948 - 20 illustrations * Post Parade, Harper and Brothers Publishers, 1949 - 15 illustrations * Turf and Bluegrass, Harper and Brothers Publishers, 1950 and 1952 - 15 illustrations * Grey, Bay, and Chestnut, Harper and Brothers Publishers 1952 and 1955 - 10 illustrations * Colts and Champions, Harper and Brothers Publishers, 1955 and 1956 - 10 illustrations * Accent on Youth, 1958 - 10 illustrations * The Look of a Thoroughbred, 1963 - 8 illustrations * Before the Bugle, 1965 - 9 illustrations 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clarence William Anderson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
