Alvin Schwartz Boeken
Alvin Schwartz was een productief auteur van meer dan vijftig boeken gewijd aan folklore en woordspelingen, waarvan vele bedoeld waren voor jonge lezers. Zijn werken kenmerken zich door een speelse benadering van taal en een fascinatie voor het bovennatuurlijke en volkstradities. Schwartz verweeft meesterlijk humor met een vleugje onheilspellendheid, waarmee hij de bewondering van lezers van alle leeftijden verdient.
