Lynne Reid Banks Knihy
31. júl 1929 – 4. apríl 2024
Lynne Reid Banks bola britská autorka, ktorej diela pre deti aj dospelých sa vyznačovali hlbokým vhľadom do ľudskej psychiky a spoločenských otázok. Jej písanie často čerpalo z jej osobných zážitkov, vrátane života v Izraeli, čo dodávalo jej príbehom autentickosť a jedinečný pohľad. Banks skúmala témy ako dospievanie, identita a hľadanie domova s citlivosťou a empatiou, ktorá rezonovala s čitateľmi naprieč generáciami. Jej štýl, ktorý plynulo prechádzal medzi humorom a vážnosťou, urobil jej knihy nadčasovými a stále obľúbenými.
At first, Omri is unimpressed with the plastic Indian toy he is given for his birthday. But when he puts it in his old cupboard and turns the key, something extraordinary happens that will change Omri's life for ever. For Little Bull, the Iroquois Indian brave, comes to life...
