Rupert Kingfisher Knihy
T. Kingfisher, čo je pseudonym Ursuly Vernon, je autorka, ktorá sa v dospeláckej literatúre zameriava na témy, ktoré často skúmajú hranice medzi žánrami. Jej štýl sa vyznačuje prenikavým vhľadom do ľudskej psychiky, často pretkaným nečakaným humorom a empatiou. Vernon (píšuci ako Kingfisher) dokáže majstrovsky vytvárať svety, ktoré sú zároveň povedomé aj zvláštne cudzie, a núti čitateľov premýšľať o zložitosti medziľudských vzťahov a o vlastnom mieste vo svete. Jej písanie je ako prechádzka záhradou, kde sa bežné stretáva s neobyčajným.

Madame Pamplemousse is the story of Madeleine, forced to work in her unpleasant uncle's horrible restaurant, The Squealing Pig.

A quiet comradeship develops between Madeleine, Madame Pamplemousse, and Madame's cat, Camembert. And together they create some wonderful culinary magic. Exquisite, beautifully formed prose that has echoes of Angela Carter belies a narrative that is full of pace. A wonderful fairy tale that will appeal to both adults and children.
