About the Author

Η Βούλα Μάστορη (1945-2016) γεννήθηκε στο Αγρίνιο. Πρωτοεμφανίστηκε στον χώρο της παιδικής λογοτεχνίας το 1975, με το βιβλίο "Με λένε Αλέξη". Τα έργα της διακρίνονται από ρεαλιστικό στοιχείο και φεμινιστική διάθεση. Η πρώτη της μεγάλη επιτυχία ήταν το βιβλίο "Ένα γεμάτο μέλια χεράκι" (1978, 14 εκδόσεις), με θέμα την καταγραφή των σχέσεων μέσα σε μια οικογένεια, θέμα που παρέμεινε κυρίαρχο στα έργα της μαζί με εκείνο της ανίχνευσης της γυναικείας ταυτότητας. Οι δυο αυτοί άξονες βρήκαν την πληρότητά τους στην τετραλογία "Τ' αυγουστιάτικο φεγγάρι" (1982), "Στο γυμνάσιο" (1991), "Ένα-Ένα-Τέσσερα" (1993) και "Κάτω απ' την καρδιά της" (1995). Έγραψε συνολικά περίπου 50 βιβλία για παιδιά και εφήβους και τρία για ενήλικες ("Το παραμύθι των ψυχών", 2003· "Γυναίκα μπονσάι", 2012· "Στη χώρα των θαυμάτων", 2016). Βραβεύτηκε από τη Γυναικεία Λογοτεχνική Συντροφιά, τον Κύκλο Ελληνικού Παιδικού Βιβλίου, την Εταιρεία Ελλήνων Λογοτεχνών, το Υπουργείο Πολιτισμού και τιμήθηκε με Κρατικό Βραβείο Παιδικής Λογοτεχνίας το 2005 και με αναγραφή του ονόματός της στον Διεθνή Τιμητικό Πίνακα IBBY. Το 2008 υπήρξε υποψήφια για το διεθνές Βραβείο Άντερσεν. Αποσπάσματα βιβλίων της διδάσκονται στα αναγνωστικά και ανθολόγια πρωτοβάθμιας και δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης. Πέθανε στην Αθήνα στις 21 Νοεμβρίου 2016, έπειτα από πολύμηνη μάχη με τον καρκίνο.
