About Dan Gutman

family when he was young. , July 2008
Most of his writing was non-fiction work until 1992, when he was inspired by his then-two-year-old son to start writing children's books. Perhaps his most famous works are his series of & Me novels for children, which started with his 20th published work, Honus & Me, a story that was originally rejected by at least a half-dozen publishers. Each book in the series revolves around a child traveling back in time to meet a baseball legend; the first work was based on the premise of a boy finding a Honus Wagner T206 baseball card in an attic of his neighbor. Further books in the series feature Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Shoeless Joe Jackson,Dorothy
