Sobre l'autor

Allan Ahlberg was born in 1938 in South London, and grew up in the Black Country. He worked as a teacher, postman, grave digger, soldier and plumber's mate before he became a full-time writer. He met his wife and creative partner, Janet at teacher training college. It was because Janet wanted to mostra'n més illustrate a book that Allan wrote his first book, the Brick Street boys. After that, together they wrote 37 books. Janet died in 1994 and Ahlberg discontinued his writing career for a few years before picking it up again. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra'n menys

Biografia breu
Allan Ahlberg is one of the UK's most acclaimed and successful authors of children's books - including the best-selling Jolly Postman series. Born in Croydon in 1938, he was educated at Sunderland Technical College. Although he dreamed of becoming a writer since the age of twelve, his route to that goal was somewhat circuitous. Other jobs along the way included postman (not an especially jolly one, he recalls), gravedigger, plumber, and teacher.

Ahlberg wrote his first book when he was thirty-seven, after a decade of teaching - a profession that he maintains is "much harder" than being a writer. He says that if he hadn't become a writer, he would have loved to be a soccer player. He was married for many years to fellow children's author Janet Ahlberg, with whom he often worked. Their daughter, Jessica Ahlberg, is also a children's author.

Eric Banks lives with his parents and three year-old sister, Emily. Mum works part-time in a shop, and Dad is a postman. Eric shares a paper-round with his best friend, Roy Ackerman. At ten minutes past nine on a Wednesday evening in June, Eric feels an itch under the collar of his pyjama jacket. His hands and feet begin to tingle, and his nose feels unusually cold and wet. Are his ears feeling a little flappy? He opens his eyes and sees fur and paws. Eric has become a Norfolk terrier. Unfortunately, when he wanders downstairs, his father shoos him out of the house and yard. Eric spends the night outside. In the morning, he sneaks back into his house. As soon as, he settles on his bed, he changes back into his boy form. Thus begins Eric’s transformation adventure. It’s a bit unnerving because he never knows when or where he’ll change into a dog next. Feeling that someone needs to know, Eric tells Roy. Together, they try to figure out why this is happening and what Eric can do to make it stop.

An interesting idea, but I don't think it worked. It might work for a fractured fairy tale display, but I wouldn't share it with really little kids.
