Paul Jennings Knihy
30. duben 1943
Paul Jennings is a celebrated author whose imaginative short stories have captivated readers. His work is characterized by a playful yet profound exploration of the unexpected, often weaving elements of the surreal into everyday life. Jennings possesses a unique ability to tap into the concerns and curiosities of young readers, crafting narratives that are both entertaining and thought-provoking. His distinctive voice and knack for surprising twists have solidified his place as a beloved figure in children's literature.
Paul Jennings' gentle, humorous, autobiography weaves together the characters and events that formed the author of Round the Twist, the 'Un' series and the Different trio of novellas recently published by Old Barn Books. From dyslexic child immigrant and high school dropout to award-winning teacher and Concorde-travelling author, Paul looks back and unpicks both his life and his writing, reflecting on moments of hubris as he confronts his glass-fronted collection of classic cars and his marriage failure. Raw and revealing, in Untwisted Jennings has crafted both a quirky, compelling, narrative and a how-to for students of creative writing and of life.
Honest, insightful, funny - a brilliant memoir about writing and teaching and life from one of Australia's most loved children's authors.
Die Slobberer, seltsame Kreaturen, breiten sich aus, während Frösche angreifen. Ihr Ziel sind die Kinder Dawn und Rory, deren Streit die Ereignisse ausgelöst hat.
