Historic Literary Heroes Project

Here are some suggested websites for information on your Historic Literary Heroes project.  You may use other sources than these, but these are trustworthy and will save you time.  Please avoid the use of any "answers," "wiki," or "ehow" websites.  Wikipedia is an okay (not best) source for this project.

For this project, you need NOT cite the websites of the images you use.  However, remember to include a caption with each image.
