Stanley John Weyman

    Stanley Weyman byl mistrným vypravěčem historických románů, jehož díla z konce 19. století bývala tolik oblíbená, že dnes je považován za zapomenutého literárního velikána. Své příběhy zasazoval do bouřlivých období 16. a 17. století ve Francii, čímž oživil hrdiny minulosti s neobyčejnou přesností a půvabem. Weymanův styl se vyznačoval vytříbeným jazykem, který maloval živé obrazy života a lidských emocí. Jeho hluboké porozumění historii, spojené s talentem pro dobrodružné vyprávění, vytvářelo díla, která čtenáře vtahovala do minulosti a nabízela pohled na velké postavy a jejich osudy.

    • "Little Lulu: The Little Girl Who Could Talk to Trees collects the most beloved stories from one of the world's best comics. As journeyman cartoonist John Stanley settles into his run of the series, Lulu gets tougher but also less caustic--she's smart, a calculating problem-solver. "Five Little Babes" is perhaps the most famous Lulu tale ever as our heroine teams up with neighborhood pal Annie to challenge the boys club."-- Provided by publisher
