Description:	Gr. 2-4. The story of how Francis Scott Key wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner" is a familiar one, but seldom has it been so handsomely presented. Kroll relates numerous details of Key's mission, rounding out a sometimes sketchy historical legend with actual names, facts, and dates. An author's note gives some additional details, including the name of the woman who made the flag that Key saw "in the dawn's early light." A photograph of Key's original manuscript, the music and lyrics to the anthem, a map of the Battle of Baltimore, and a bibliography are also provided. The full-page oil paintings enhancing each double-page spread are reminiscent of the work of such American illustrators as N. C. Wyeth.
