Even today this work is one of the best monographs on brain tumors in children. The many case histories are so well written that they alone, without the remainder of the text, depict the nature of these tumors with unusual clarity. Bailey produced some of the most basic modern neurological research and was a prolific contributor to the medical literature. Buchanan was born in Scotland and educated at Glasgow, Cambridge, and Paris. He came to the University of Chicago in 1932, where he was primarily a clinical neurologist. Bucy received his medical degree at the University of Iowa in 1927 and was professor of neurosurgery at the University of Chicago for many years, and later at Northwestern University Medical School.
