And he was never afraid to do what he liked -- whether smuggling a clavichord into the attic, sneaking off at a duke's castle to play the organ, ordering forty-five pounds of snow to chill his wine, or writing operas that no one wanted to hear. Even in his darkest hour, when it seemed everyone and everything were against him, Handel stayed true to himself. And because he did, he has become one of the best-loved composers in the world. In this absorbing biography, M. T. Anderson's narrative and Kevin Hawkes's stunning art illuminate the life and legacy of a musical visionary.\u003cbr\u003eBack matter includes a time line, discography, author's note, sources, and an index.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763666002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e56737 \/ Handel, Who Knew What He Liked\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.8 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"M.
