She smiled at the students, "
Yes, this is Dr. Seuss...and as mentioned, he wasn't really a practicing doctor...but he did adopt the name Dr. Seuss as his pen name. He is well known for a variety of eclectic children's book. He was a master at rhymes and as I mentioned he created a variety of words to help make his different lines rhyme. " she paused to take a breath and then continued, "
He was a very successful and well known children's author in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in the Muggle World. There were lots of movies and animation movies made from his variety of books. I was even brought up with these books because my mother read them to me every night." she said excitedly and then stopped that line of thought because then that would lead to her brother...and focus Gemma, "
He created some amazing characters like the Cat in the Hat, the Lorax, the Whos and the Grinch. He had a vivid imagination and was praised for his ingenuity and creativity."
She walked as she talked to the next portrait on the wall...which just like the other two was dimmed out. When she reached the portrait, she started with the introduction. "
This next author was also an author in the twentieth and twenty first century. Just like Dr. Seuss, he had many of his novels, books, and stories turned into movies, both for the television and the big screen. But, this author was in a complete different genre. He was known for mysteries and horrors." she paused as she flicked on the light of the portrait. "
This man is well known for writing and publishing over 268 novels and short stories...and over 100 of these were turned into a movie." she glanced at the man, whom actually looked like an innocent and kind old grandpa but she knew there had to be something a little off for him to be able to think up some of the stuff that he did. "
Some of his most famous works are Carrie, Misery, and Christine. I do want to note that many of his works are not school appropriate and we are just studying him to recognize him as one of the top authors throughout the years in his genre. We will not be discussing his literature in detail and these books will not be available in the library. " yes she had to admire the man but knew that many of the books were not for young eyes, but just as they had to study Voldermort and the Death Eaters and their horrid affairs in History of Magic so would they discuss the works of Stephen King in quick passing.
Satisfied with her disclaimer about the author, her face softened and she continued with the question, "
So any guesses on whom this man is? Can anyone name any other works by him?"
