Lenny Henry Poradie kníh
Britský herec a komik Lenny Henry sa preslávil svojím jedinečným prístupom k humoru, ktorý často skúma témy kultúrnej identity a sociálnych rozdielov. Jeho práca sa vyznačuje bystrým pozorovaním a schopnosťou pretvoriť stereotypy na nástroj komédie. Henryho vplyv presahuje stand-up, kde experimentoval s rôznymi formami rozprávania. Jeho neskorší literárny záujem o shakespearovské postavy a úlohu černochov v médiách odráža hlbšiu snahu o umelecké skúmanie a spoločenský komentár.

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 . . .
