Sarah Ridley Bücher
Sarah Ridley schreibt und bearbeitet Bildungsbücher für Kinder und Jugendliche. Ein lebenslanges Interesse an Geschichte hat sie kürzlich dazu bewogen, über den Ersten Weltkrieg zu schreiben, inspiriert von Briefen von Soldaten, die in dem Konflikt dienten. Ihre Werke konzentrieren sich oft auf persönliche Erzählungen und Familienarchive, wie sich in Geschichten zeigt, die die Entdeckung von Materialien in den eigenen Familiensammlungen erforschen. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt untersucht die Korrespondenz zwischen Soldatenbrüdern und ihren Schwestern und erweckt die Erfahrungen junger Menschen während des Krieges zum Leben.
