Patricia Beatty Libros
La ficción histórica infantil de Patricia Beatty invita a los lectores a compartir su fascinación por el pasado. Reflejando su interés por la investigación meticulosa, que comparó con el trabajo de detective, sus historias recrean épocas pasadas para los lectores modernos. Los críticos citan su fuerte sentido del humor, así como un agudo sentido del lugar, como puntos fuertes de su ficción. Como feminista comprometida, Beatty presentó tanto heroínas como héroes que participan en conflictos dramáticos, absorbentes y creíbles que involucran cuestiones de moralidad y coraje.
