What words describe John Smith?

After reading several things about him I would say one of the words would be opportunist. He promoted himself and used every opportunity to do so. One example of this would be his recount of his meeting with the Native Americans in Jamestown. He writes that his life was saved by Pocahontas, but this is not true. Her side of the story can't be told because she was all ready dead when he wrote this. Adventurer is another word to describe him. He had several adventures in exploration before the end of his life. He didn't stop with Jamestown. Hated would be another. The men of Jamestown hated him and tried to murder him. While asleep he had gunpowder sprinkled on him and lit. This gave him burns on his legs so he went back to England for treatment leaving Jamestown. He never returned. All in all I wonder if he would have been a likeable or nice fellow. I don't think so.

Why did Mary Pope Osborne write Magic Tree House?

She is sharing her imagination. Initially, she was approached by Random House to create a series about some children who went to different places and times. Not wanting to be tied down the same old story line she balked at the idea, but with some encouragement and six attempts at books you have never read she and her husband came upon a dilapidated old tree house during their travels together and the rest is history as they say.
