    1. leden 1947

    Mary Stanton se ve svých dílech často noří do světa fantazie, kde proplétá prvky mytologie a magického realismu. Její próza, často lyrická a obrazná, zkoumá témata identity, duchovního hledání a propojení člověka s přírodou, zejména skrze vztah k zvířatům. Prostřednictvím svých příběhů vybízí čtenáře k zamyšlení nad hranicemi reality a nad silou nevysloveného.
