'Dreamer.' Mum called her. 'Always miles away.' Sadie lives by the Thames at Greenwich and longs for sea adventure. She happily whiles away hours at The Maritime Museum or gazing at The Cutty Sark and fills her head with dreams of ocean voyages on ancient sailing ships. 'And there inside she found a different world Where rigging sang and white winged sails unfurled.' One day she falls asleep beneath a cabinet in the museum and wakes to find herself embarking on an adventure she could only have dreamed of ... Duffy's lyrical poetry and Joice's richly imaginative illustrations combine to create an unforgettable voyage into a magical world of dolphins, mermaids, pirates and treasure.
Maureen T. Duffy Libros
La obra de Maureen Duffy emplea frecuentemente ideas freudianas y la mitología griega como marcos conceptuales. Su estilo distintivo utiliza voces contrastantes y corrientes de conciencia, a menudo incorporando las perspectivas de los forasteros. Sus novelas se alinean con una tradición literaria europea que investiga la realidad a través del lenguaje y la indagación en lugar de una narrativa lineal convencional. Duffy ha inspirado a muchos escritores, demostrando que la novela inglesa puede trascender el realismo y la domesticidad para abrazar lo fantástico, lo experimental y lo político.
