Uses photographs from British history that show us what life was like in the past
Sarah Ridley écrit et édite des livres éducatifs pour enfants et jeunes adultes. Un intérêt de longue date pour l'histoire l'a récemment amenée à écrire sur la Première Guerre mondiale, inspirée par les lettres de soldats ayant servi dans le conflit. Son travail se penche souvent sur des récits personnels et des archives familiales, comme en témoignent des histoires explorant la découverte de matériaux au sein des collections de sa propre famille. Un autre axe explore la correspondance entre frères soldats et leurs sœurs, donnant vie aux expériences des jeunes pendant la guerre.
