Ben Aitken Pořadí knih
Ben Aitken se narodil za vlády Margaret Thatcherové a za své mládí vyrostl do výšky 183 cm, kde pak přestal růst. Své rané psaní začal tím, že sledoval Billa Brysona po Velké Británii pro knihu 'Dear Bill Bryson: Footnotes from a Small Island'. Následně se přestěhoval do Polska, kde pracoval v podniku s rybami a hranolky, což inspirovalo jeho knihu 'A Chip Shop in Poznan: My Unlikely Year in Poland'. Aitkenovo psaní se vyznačuje humorem a osobitým pohledem na cestování a kulturní střety.
