Esther Averill Libri
Esther Averill trovò la sua voce di narratrice attraverso i suoi amati racconti sulla gatta Jenny Linsky. Le sue narrazioni sono intrise di umorismo delicato e una prospettiva calorosa, spesso esplorando temi di amicizia e coraggio. Averill arricchì la letteratura per bambini con personaggi che catturarono l'immaginazione dei giovani lettori attraverso le loro personalità uniche e le loro avventure. Il suo stile di scrittura è sia sofisticato che accessibile, rendendo i suoi libri durevolmente popolari.

But can she overcome her fears and prove that she, too, has a special gift? Join Jenny and her friends, including fearless Pickles the Fire Cat, on their spirited downtown adventures and discover why The Atlantic Monthly called Jenny "a personality ranking not far below such giants as Peter Rabbit."
