Tim Wynne-Jones

    12 augustus 1948

    Tim Wynne-Jones schrijft literatuur voor zowel kinderen als volwassenen, met een scherp oog voor het verkennen van de complexiteit van de menselijke natuur en de wereld om ons heen. Zijn werken duiken vaak in thema's als identiteit, moed en de zoektocht naar iemands plaats, waarbij hij boeiend taalgebruik en sterke personages gebruikt. Of het nu gaat om prentenboeken, jeugdromans of volwassen fictie, hij trekt de lezers consequent mee in diepgaande verhalen. Zijn vermogen om de essentie van kinderlijke en adolescentenervaringen te vangen, naast de complexiteit van de volwassen wereld, is een kenmerk van zijn onderscheidende schrijfstijl.
