Anne Thackeray Ritchie

    Anne Isabella Ritchie è stata una scrittrice inglese e una figura centrale della scena letteraria tardo-vittoriana. I suoi romanzi, molto apprezzati ai suoi tempi, sono oggi forse ricordati soprattutto per aver ambientato narrazioni di fiabe tradizionali in un contesto vittoriano. È nota anche per il suo ruolo di custode dell'eredità letteraria del padre. La voce distintiva di Ritchie ha conferito una prospettiva unica alla narrazione classica, facendo risuonare la sua opera nei lettori.
