Margaret Mahy

    21 maart 1936 – 23 juli 2012

    Margaret Mahy was een gevierde auteur wiens verhalen vaak het bovennatuurlijke verkenden om zich te verdiepen in de diepgaande complexiteit van menselijke relaties en de reis van het opgroeien. Haar suggestieve proza en haar onderscheidende vermogen om het innerlijke leven van haar personages vast te leggen, onderscheiden haar als een belangrijke stem in de kinder- en jeugdliteratuur. Mahy verweefde behendig fantastische elementen met universele thema's als liefde, verlies en zelfontdekking, en creëerde zo verhalen die zowel boeiend als tot nadenken stemmend waren. Haar nalatenschap leeft voort door haar blijvende invloed op generaties lezers en de tijdloze kwaliteit van haar verhalen, die zowel jonge als oudere lezers blijven aanspreken.
