Katy Beebe

    Deze auteur, doordrenkt van een liefde voor de geschiedenis van boeken en hun maakproces, ontwikkeld tijdens studies aan de Universiteit van Oxford en een jeugd in het Midden-Westen, creëert verhalen vol historische details. Hij deelt een passie voor de middeleeuwse wereld en de tastbare geschiedenis van boeken, voornamelijk via boeiende verhalen gericht op jongere lezers. Zijn werk viert het verleden, verweven met een fascinatie voor het fysieke object en de reis ervan door de tijd. Deze diepe interesse komt ook tot uiting in zijn academische rol als docent middeleeuwse geschiedenis.

      A clever tale that will charm book loversBrother Hugo can't return his library book -- the letters of St. Augustine -- because, it turns out, the precious book has been devoured by a bear! Instructed by the abbot to borrow another monastery's copy and create a replacement, the hapless monk painstakingly crafts a new book, copying it letter by letter and line by line. But when he sets off to return the borrowed copy, he finds himself trailed by his hungry new friend. Once a bear has a taste of letters, it appears, he’s rarely satisfied!Brother Hugo and the Bear is loosely based on a note found in a twelfth-century manuscript -- and largely on the creative imaginings of author Katy Beebe. Lavishly illustrated by S. D. Schindler in the style of medieval manuscripts, this humorous tale is sure to delight readers who have acquired their own taste for books.
