Patricia Beatty Livres
La fiction historique pour enfants de Patricia Beatty invite les lecteurs à partager sa fascination pour le passé. Reflétant son intérêt pour la recherche méticuleuse, qu'elle comparait au travail de détective, ses histoires recréent des époques révolues pour les lecteurs modernes. Les critiques citent son fort sens de l'humour, ainsi qu'un sens aigu du lieu, comme des points forts de sa fiction. Féministe engagée, Beatty mettait en scène des héroïnes et des héros confrontés à des conflits dramatiques, captivants et crédibles, soulevant des questions de moralité et de courage.
