F. Anstey Knihy
Tento autor byl mistrem humoru a fantazie, který mistrně kombinoval absurdní situace s pronikavými postřehy o lidské povaze. Jeho díla, často využívající prvky nadpřirozena a neobvyklých proměn, zkoumají témata identity a společenských očekávání. S neotřelým stylem a vtipnými dialogy si získal oblibu jako vypravěč, který dokázal pobavit i přimět k zamyšlení. Jeho humoristické romány, které se často objevovaly i ve formě divadelních her a filmů, jsou dodnes ceněny pro svou originalitu a nadčasovost.
