Roger L. Green Books
Roger Lancelyn Green was a British writer, celebrated for his children's literature and biographies. As a member of the literary society known as the Inklings, alongside figures like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Green's work deeply engages with myths, legends, and history. His writing, shaped by his academic background at Oxford, revitalizes classic tales with warmth and an understanding of the young reader. Green's style is both instructive and enchanting, bringing the rich world of fantasy to life for children.
