Journey Through Time
What inspired Virginia Woolf to write her novels? Paola Zannoner explores this question, drawing inspiration from the young writer’s teenage years. Journey Through Time is a story that weaves its way through Virginia Woolf’s introspective explorations to discover, through writing exercises and analysis, the narrative genre that brought the writer to fame: the psychological novel.
In the Footsteps of the Great Classics is a fresh, clever and inventive middle-grade series, edited by Guido Sgardoli, that aims to introduce young readers to different narrative genres through the lens of classic authors’ childhoods. Not the original classics, but new stories by contemporary writers, inspired by real or imagined events in the early lives of classic authors like Robert Louis Stevenson, Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, and Agatha Christie. Each volume mixes biography, fiction, and genre exploration — adventure, horror, sci-fi, and mystery — with a final section of writing games and activities.
