YOUNG WATSON AND THE WARRIOR'S SWORD (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

“Young Watson And The Warrior’s Sword” is a thriller for young readers inspired by the story of Sherlock Holmes’ famous assistant… This time, however, it will be (Dr.) Watson coming out of the shadows and into the limelight, as the hero of an exciting detective story set in Scotland in the mid-19th century.The story is primarily aimed at 7 to 11-year-olds and offers a captivating narration following the figure of Watson as a child and his friend Sherlock, a choice made to reinforce the mechanisms of identification of young readers with the characters in the story.Moreover, this book is a significant stimulus for adults as well (parents, educators and teachers), since it underlines the important value of interactive narration as a privileged means of transporting adults together with children into a world of unlimited imagination.In fact, “The Warrior’s Sword” illustrates a method of telling imaginative fictional stories, giving the listener an active role, the chance to intervene in the plot, enriching or modifying it, in continuous mediation with the storyteller.This book is therefore recommended for both children and adults since it presents two narrative dimensions: on the one hand, the dynamic of “storytelling” through the dialogue between the mother and child “here and now”, and on the other hand, the story itself, set in the mid-19th century, but which delves into the fascinating period of the Celts.The two narrative levels, the “real” one (the dialogue between mother and child) and the imaginary one (the story of young Watson) weave together into a stimulating, entertaining story which is also "sprinkled" with numerous genuine historical facts, the result of painstaking historical research.
