Set the scene.
Charles Casha created Fra Mudest in 1967. The character became a familiar presence in Maltese children’s literature.
Here’s the twist.
Casha also wrote for teenagers and adults, across novels, short stories, poetry and plays. His autobiography appeared in 2013.
Why it still matters.
Try following an author across age groups. A book written for children and one for adults may use different voices while exploring how people think and behave.
