Nicholas Fisk is the pseudonym for David Higginbottom who was born in London, England on October 14, 1923.

After the war, he worked for the publishers Lund Humphries and in advertising before moving to a career as an author. His non-fiction works included Look at Cars, Lindbergh the Lone Flier, and Richthofen the Red Baron. His first novel for children, The Bouncers, was published in 1964.

I just loved this book when I was younger. It had some 'fun' ideas in it and was short enough to finish in a single night.

Ce livre (Les prisonniers du temps) cettait écrit en 2eme personne et ça m'a gênait un peu. Le ton du livre non plus à etait tres utile pour moi. Je n'ai reussi à lire, malgre l'importance du sujet, que 14 pages.

My main memory of this book as a child is the discovery that one of the random passages of text you got given for 'reading comprehension questions' at school had been lifted from a Real Book, and that instead of being a strange stand alone out of context thing, it was from a complete story that no-one had bothered to give us.

The actual book isn't one of my favourite Nicholas Fisk's. Strange alien particles come down from the sky. The army want to blow them up. The children want to play with them. Are they good or bad? What should we do? The book asks the questions in an interesting way, but I find the answer at the end a bit far fetched.… (més)
