Praise for Rudolph Walker Biography

Full marks to Tamarind for their excellent Black Stars series. Children need positive role models and this, precisely, is what the series will provide. Highly recommended.

Scholastic Junior Education

Great. A brilliant addition to the series with a lovely, contemporary cover. Covers so much ground: Black actors in the UK and their experience of racism, emigrating to the UK, etc. An exclusive interview too!

Letterbox Library

A very engaging biography of this well-known actor. I really like the nice new modern covers for this series. Great!
