Tens of millions of children's lives and the history of television were profoundly impacted by Fred Rogers (1928–2003). As the creator and star of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, he was a champion of compassion, equality, and kindness. Rogers had a strong devotion to children and a genuine interest in answering their worries, anxieties, and inquiries about the world.
The first comprehensive biography of Fred Rogers, The Good Neighbour, narrates the life of this remarkably unique and timeless American figure. Through decades of work, including the unexpected decision to leave the show to create adult television, Maxwell King uses original interviews, oral histories, and archival documents to trace Rogers's personal, professional, and artistic life. Rogers later returns to the neighbourhood with increasingly complex episodes that were written in partnership with childhood development experts. The Good Neighbour is a captivating tale that is full of detail and provides the ultimate portrayal of a popular character who is adored by many generations.
