Francesca Simon

    23 februari 1955

    De achtergrond van Francesca Simon in Middeleeuwse Studies bood verrassend genoeg een sterke basis voor haar schrijven, met name haar bekwame gebruik van alliteratie in kinderliteratuur. Na een overstap van de academische wereld naar de journalistiek, voordat ze zich volledig toelegde op kinderboeken, werd ze een van de meest succesvolle auteurs van het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Haar productieve werk, waaronder een enorm populaire serie, heeft wereldwijde erkenning gekregen en miljoenen exemplaren verkocht. Simons onderscheidende stem en boeiende stijl blijven jonge lezers internationaal boeien.
