Maxwell King's biography of Fred Rogers, the creator of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, drawing on original interviews, oral histories, and archival research. The Good Neighbor by Maxwell King is the first full-length biography of Fred Rogers, the Presbyterian minister and television creator behind Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Drawing on original interviews with family, colleagues, and friends, along with oral histories and archival material, the book traces Rogers's upbringing in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, his musical and theological training, and the development of the program that ran on public television for more than three decades.

King also examines Rogers's approach to addressing difficult subjects with young viewers — divorce, illness, anger, and grief — and documents the careful, deliberate craft behind a persona often described as effortless.
