From Angela K. Nickerson's biography:
"I will do just about anything to travel! As a little girl I dreamed of visiting the great cities of Europe: Paris, London, Rome, Madrid. I listened to my grandparents talk about their travels to China and to the USSR with envy. I wanted to go! Instead, I read. My images of London were shaped by the stories of Charles Dickens and Frances Hodgson Burnett. My Paris was the city of Madeline. And my vision of Italy was shaped by the artists and writers I admired: da Vinci, Machiavelli, Raphael, and, of course, Michelangelo.

"When I was fifteen my grandparents indulged that gypsy in me and took me on my first European adventure. Since then life has been a series of schemes and dreams -- always longing to travel yet again.

"With my first book, A Journey into Michelangelo's Rome, I am excited to open one of my favorite cities to my readers in a new way. Rome throbs and pulses with energy. To dip into the Renaissance world which still exists in a very modern city allows the traveler to experience a Rome which most people miss as their coach buses cruise the boulevards. And to take the journey one step further -- traveling with my readers -- that is truly a dream come true!"
