Lenny Henry Libri
Lenny Henry, acclamato attore e comico britannico, è noto per il suo approccio unico all'umorismo, che esplora spesso temi di identità culturale e dinamiche sociali. La sua distintiva voce comica decostruisce gli stereotipi, trasformandoli in potenti veicoli sia per l'umorismo che per l'intuizione. Oltre alle sue radici nello stand-up, Henry si è avventurato in diverse forme narrative, mostrando una versatile gamma artistica. I suoi successivi interessi accademici in Shakespeare e nella rappresentazione delle persone nere nei media rivelano un profondo impegno nell'esplorazione artistica e nel commento sociale.
Perfect for fans of fast-paced adventures, The Book of Legends, from comedian Lenny Henry is a laugh-out-loud magical story for 8-12 year olds, illustrated throughout by the incredibly talented Keenon Ferrell. Twins, Bran and Fran, are two ordinary kids who are about to go on an extraordinary adventure! When their mum mysteriously disappears in a lightning strike, just like their dad, the twins are all alone and know they have to stick together - if only to face their new guardian's terrible cooking! But when their mum's treasured storybook turns out to be a portal to another world full of mythical legends, everything changes. Suddenly, evil princes, mud monsters and Viking armies are all very real and out to get them. Luckily, the twins have Wilma, the Wizard's Wife, and Zachary, a wisecracking Zebracorn, to help them solve the mystery surrounding their parents' disappearance. Quests are no joke (but there are lots of jokes in this book) and this is the quest of a lifetime . . .
