E. S. Brooks Knihy

Elbridge Streeter Brooks bol americký autor, redaktor a kritik, ktorý sa venoval písaniu pre deti a mládež. Jeho diela sa často vyznačovali historickými a vlasteneckými témami, pričom sa snažil mladým čitateľom priblížiť americkú históriu pútavým a zrozumiteľným spôsobom. Brooksov štýl bol priamy a vzdelávací, s cieľom nielen pobaviť, ale aj poučiť a vzbudiť hrdosť na národnú minulosť. Jeho literárny prínos spočíva v popularizácii histórie medzi mladými čitateľmi v jeho dobe.
