Eva Roos
I was born and I currently live in a small Eastern-Europe country - Estonia.

A big part of me is Estonia's magical nature that still keeps old fairy tales alive and people that are stubborn, innovative, and creative - all thanks to rather difficult history.
I grew up with a lot of books. Some of them were rare and expensive, so my parents prohibited me to touch them (also, just in case, to even look at them for very long), making sure I was curious and completely hooked on books from a very early age.

I have always been somewhat fascinated by beliefs, mythology, magic, and superstitions, so I chose to learn sc -

Hans personer, bl.a. i debutromanen Lille Virgil (1967), er ofte opfindsomme, legende børn, som sammen med skæve eksistenser og folkepensionister står i et modsætningsforhold til samfundets normer og autoriteter, dvs. fortravlede voksne, som har glemt at være børn.
En mere eventyrlig side findes i bøger som Hodja fra Pjort (1970) om drengen, der drager ud i den store verden for at finde sit flyvende tæppe, og Otto er et næsehorn (1972) om det tegnede næsehorn, som bliver levende og en god allieret i kampen mod de voksne.
