Дмитрий Александрович Емец

Дмитрий Александрович Емец (English: Dmitri Aleksandrovich Yemets) is a Russian author of children's and young adult fantasy literature. He is most famous for his Tanya Grotter series and spin-offs, which he calls "a parody" or, alternatively, as "a sort of Russian answer" to Harry Potter. He has been repeatedly threatened by J.K. Rowling to be sued; however, the books still are very popular, with the first, The Magic Double Bass, selling about 100,000 copies.
