Richmal Crompton

    15 novembre 1890 – 11 gennaio 1969

    Richmal Crompton, inizialmente formatasi come maestra, divenne una celebrata scrittrice inglese, rinomata per la sua serie Just William. La sua narrativa esplora la vita familiare e sociale, analizzando le costrizioni imposte da questi ambiti pur nutrendo gli individui. Crompton ritrae magistralmente i bambini come osservatori curiosi delle norme sociali, con i suoi giovani protagonisti, in particolare William e la sua banda, che emergono immancabilmente trionfanti.
