John Farman

    John Farman è autore di diversi libri per bambini che esplorano temi storici e sociali. Il suo stile è giocoso e non convenzionale, come suggerito da titoli quali The Very Bloody History of Britain (without the boring bits). Farman è noto per la sua capacità di presentare informazioni complesse o storiche in modo accessibile e coinvolgente per i giovani lettori. Il suo lavoro spesso supera i confini della tipica letteratura per l'infanzia, esplorando l'ironia e il pensiero critico con leggerezza e arguzia.
