Andy Seed

    1 janvier 1961

    Cet auteur écrit dans un éventail impressionnant, de l'humour et de la non-fiction amusante pour enfants aux mémoires pour adultes, en passant par des ouvrages éducatifs et de la poésie fantaisiste. Son travail se caractérise par un sens du plaisir et explore souvent la vie quotidienne avec esprit et affection. Une mémoire récente détaillant les tribulations d'un jeune enseignant dans les Yorkshire Dales a été décrite comme « réconfortante, hilarante... une mémoire enchanteresse ». La capacité de l'auteur à traverser les genres tout en maintenant une voix distincte rend son écriture singulièrement captivante.

    • When ancient Egyptian friends, Nub and Iteti, overhear a gang of tomb robbers plotting to raid Queen Neith's tomb, they set off on a quest to stop them. But there are lots of clues and puzzles to solve along the way, from a suspicious list of hieroglyphic words found in the marketplace to a confusing maze across the River Nile. Will they get there in time to stop the robbers unleashing a terrible curse? And who was behind the evil plot all along? With breathtaking artwork, fascinating facts about ancient Egypt and a fold-out guide at the back of the book which explains how to read hieroglyphs and contains an easy-to-use hieroglyphic dictionary, this is the book for children who love history and hair-raising adventures.

      Andy Seed is beginning his fifth year teaching at Cragthwaite Primary in the Yorkshire Dales, and as always a new term is full of surprises. These take the form of a beautiful, but not terribly bright, student on placement from the local teacher training college, and a particularly pushy and problematic parent with a fine line in complaining. It looks like Andy's pupils are the least of his problems... At home in Applesett, things aren't all rosy either. Barbara is forced to take a job as a postie to help pay the mortgage, which means finding someone to look after Tom and Reuben. When two old friends move into the village it looks like the problem has been solved, but it soon transpires that rural life is not for everyone. As always the book is peppered with the hilarious and heartwarming incidents that a life living and working with children inevitably contains.
