Richard Platt

    15. apríl 1953

    Richard Platt je autorom viac ako šesťdesiatich náučných kníh pre mladých čitateľov, ktorý sa tiež venuje inovatívnym multimediálnym projektom. Jeho popularita vzrástla vďaka spolupráci s ilustrátorom Stephenom Biestym na sérii „Priečne rezy“, kde jeho pútavé texty dopĺňajú detailné ilustrácie. Platt sa spočiatku snažil o kariéru fotografa, ale objavil v sebe talent na písanie, čo ho viedlo k tvorbe článkov, kníh a nakoniec k redigovaniu a písaniu detských kníh. Jeho diela, často zamerané na históriu a vedu, ako sú knihy o pirátoch, špiónoch alebo vynálezoch, sú cenené pre svoju faktickú hĺbku, vizuálnu pútavosť a schopnosť vzbudiť čitateľskú zvedavosť.
