In 1836, the English naturalist, Charles Darwin, returned home from a five-year voyage aboard the HMS Beagle. He was given the task of collecting as many different plants, animals, fossils, and minerals from the countries he visited. During his journeys Darwin spent many hours recording his observations. On his return to England, he began to conceptualize the theory of evolution. Darwin believed that all plants and animals on Earth evolved over the centuries into their present form. When he presented his theory to the public, they laughed at him and scorned his ideas. Finally, more than twenty years later, he published his theory of evolution. At first the public rejected it, but within a few years his theory became widely accepted as fact in the scientific community. Vargie Johnson tells the story of how Charles Darwin became famous for his theory of evolution in this first biographical novel of the "What Made Them Famous?" series.

This prince became so mighty that today he is reverentially referred to as "Alexander the Great." Almost from birth, King Philip oversaw his son's tutelage in all areas of survival, but particular emphasis was placed on the skills of battle, as Philip himself was a great warrior. Alexander learned quickly and soon began to surpass his father's training. Alexander's constant companion and friend, a servant by the name of Adonis, grew up to be Alexander's scribe. Adonis tells his master's story and takes the reader on the conqueror's epic journey.

France was in the midst of war. The country had not known peace for close to a hundred years. It was during the year 1412, in the small village of Domrémy that a special little girl, Joan, was born. From babyhood she experienced the terror of being forced to flee from marauding English soldiers. As she grew into a young girl, Joan never dreamed that she would play a major role in bringing about peace in her land. She led French soldiers into battle and made the coronation of the Dauphin as King of France possible. This is a tale of action and faith as Joan accomplishes her amazing feats, not out of any desire for personal glory, but in service to God. Her experiences are vividly recounted by Vargie Johnson. This fifth fact-based biographical novel in the "What Made Them Famous?" series will capture the interest of all readers.
