H.C. Andersen is a really good writer. He wrote fairy tales. My favorite story is “the ugly duckling”.

My favourite Italian writer is Alessandro D'Avenia. He was born in Palermo, therefore he has a different perspective about life because the life in Sicily is different than in the North. More chaotic, very loud and friendly. He is an Literature teacher and he shares his passion about Literature and writers to his students. I like his books because when I read them, I can feel his passion to tell a story. My favourite book is "Bianca come il latte, Rossa come il sangue" because it's a very dramatic book and it tells a romantic story between a girl and a boy.

My favorite author is JK ROWLING. I became her fan when I read her book Harry potter and scorers/philosopher's stone for the Harry potter series. JK ROWLING got the idea of writing harry potter when she was traveling from Manchester to London.
