Patricia Beatty Libri
La narrativa storica per l'infanzia di Patricia Beatty invita i lettori a condividere la sua fascinazione per il passato. Riflettendo il suo interesse per la ricerca meticolosa, che paragonava al lavoro investigativo, le sue storie ricreano epoche passate per i lettori moderni. La critica cita il suo forte senso dell'umorismo, nonché un acuto senso del luogo, come punti di forza della sua narrativa. Da femminista impegnata, Beatty ha presentato sia eroine che eroi coinvolti in conflitti drammatici, avvincenti e credibili che riguardano questioni di moralità e coraggio.
