Margaret Mahy

    21. březen 1936 – 23. červenec 2012

    Margaret Mahy byla uznávaná novozélandská autorka, jejíž díla se často ponořila do nadpřirozeného, aby prozkoumala hluboké lidské vztahy a složitosti dospívání. Její sugestivní próza a jedinečná schopnost zachytit psychologii postav ji odlišují jako významnou postavu v literatuře pro mladé čtenáře. Mahy mistrně proplétala magické prvky s univerzálními tématy lásky, ztráty a sebepoznání, čímž vytvořila poutavé a myšlenkově provokující příběhy. Její odkaz spočívá v jejím trvalém vlivu na generace čtenářů a v nadčasové kvalitě jejích děl, které nadále rezonují s dětmi i dospělými.
