A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Edward Ormondroyd (1925-2021) was an American author best known for his children's fantasy novel David and the Phoenix. Born in Pennsylvania, he served in the United States Army during World War II and later studied at the University of California, Berkeley. His writing for children reflects a gift for blending ordinary childhood experience with myth, humor, and wonder, creating stories in which magic feels close enough to discover but serious enough to matter.David and the Phoenix became Ormondroyd's most enduring work and has remained beloved by generations of readers for its warmth, wit, and imaginative charm. The book draws on legendary creatures and classic fantasy traditions while keeping its emotional center in the friendship between a child and a magnificent, flawed, unforgettable magical being. Its appeal lies in the way it makes mythology personal, playful, and accessible without draining it of mystery.Ormondroyd also wrote other works for young readers, but his reputation rests especially on this classic tale of a boy and a Phoenix. For many readers, David and the Phoenix serves as an early introduction to fantasy literature, combining adventure, humor, danger, and tenderness in a form well suited to children discovering the pleasures of imaginative reading.
