  • Nagroda Im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda
    Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda za wybitne zasługi dla literatury dla dzieci i młodzieży Co dwa lata IBBY przyznaje autorom i ilustratorom książek dziecięcych swoje najwyższe wyróżnienie – Nagrodę im. Hansa Christiana Andersena. Otrzymują ją osoby żyjące, których twórczość jest bardzo ważna dla literatury dziecięcej. Nagroda ta, często nazywana „Małym Noblem”, to najważniejsze międzynarodowe odznaczenie, przyznawane za twórczość dla dzieci. Patronem nagrody jest Jej Wysokość, Małgorzata II, Królowa Danii. Nominacje do tej prestiżowej nagrody zgłaszane są przez narodowe sekcje, a wyboru laureatów dokonuje międzynarodowe jury, w którego skład wchodzą badacze i znawcy literatury dziecięcej. Nagrodę im. H. Ch. Andersena zaczęto przyznawać w 1956 roku, w kategorii Autor, a pierwszy ilustrator otrzymał ją dziesięć lat później. Na nagrodę składają się: złoty medal i dyplom, wręczane na uroczystej ceremonii, podczas Kongresu IBBY. Z okazji przyznania nagrody ukazuje się zawsze specjalny numer czasopisma „Bookbird”, w którym zamieszczane są nazwiska nominowanych, a także sprawozdanie z obrad Jury. Do tej pory żaden polski pisarz nie otrzymał tego odznaczenia, jednak polskie nazwisko widnieje na liście nagrodzonych. W 1982 roku bowiem Małego Nobla otrzymał wybitny polski grafik i ilustrator Zbigniew Rychlicki. Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena w 2022 r. Kolejnych zwycięzców nagrody im. Hansa Christiana Andersena poznamy wiosną 2022 podczas targów w Bolonii. Na długiej liście nominowanych, na której jest aż 66 nazwisk z 33 krajów – 33 pisarzy i 33 ilustratorów znaleźli się Marcin Szczygielski oraz Iwona Chmielewska. MARCIN SZCZYGIELSKI Marcin Szczygielski jest znanym polskim pisarzem, dziennikarzem i grafikiem. Jego prace były publikowane m.in. w Nowej Fantastyce czy Newsweeku, a jako dziennikarz swoją karierę związał również z tygodnikiem Wprost oraz miesięcznikiem Moje mieszkanie, którego był redaktorem naczelnym.

  • Books All Children Should Read – As Recommended by Michael Morpurgo
    Books all children should read – As recommended by Michael Morpurgo Early Years and KS1 The Twits, by Roald Dahl (Puffin, £4·99) Mr and Mrs Twit pass the time playing nasty tricks on one another. They're both horrid. In his hairy beard, Mr Twit "was always able to find a tasty morsel to nibble on". Burglar Bill, by Janet and Allan Ahlberg (Puffin, £4·99) "I'll 'ave that," is the catchphrase of the rogue who stars in this engaging and beautifully illustrated tale. When Bill accidentally burglarises a baby, it turns out to be a blessing in a stolen basket. "Runfrit, Boglaboll!" The Tiger Who Came To Tea, by Judith Kerr (HarperCollins, £5·99) The story of a tiger that eats its hosts out of house and home. Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak (Red Fox, £5·99) When Max engages in mischief, he is sent to bed without his supper. That's just the start. The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, by Beatrix Potter (Frederick Warne, £4.99) Tom Kitten learnt nothing from his parents about the consequences of curiosity. Abducted by a rat, he comes within a whisker of being turned into a pudding. Yertle the Turtle, by Dr Seuss (Collins, £4·99) Yertle, king of the pond, commands all the turtles to stack themselves up so he can be top of the heap. Someone's riding for a fall. Fungus the Bogeyman, by Raymond Briggs (Puffin, £5·99) What boy won't thrill to the world of the Bogeymen, all snot, armpits and boils? This gave Raymond Briggs's green crayon the workout of its life.

  • Harvill Secker's Surprising Centenary Liiz Thomson Opiiniion - Publliishiing Wednesday, 30Th September 2009
    Harvill Secker's surprising centenary Liiz Thomson Opiiniion - Publliishiing Wednesday, 30th September 2009 From January to December 2010, 'Random House imprint Harvill Secker will be celebrating a centenary of publishing. Harvill Secker has published some of the most iconic and inspiring literary works of the last 100 years, bringing international writing from exceptional writers to the attention of British book buyers.' The quality of the Harvill Secker list is indeed impressive - but Harvill Secker is not 100 years old. In 2010 it will be six. Nor, strictly speaking, is Secker & Warburg, which was born in 1936 as a result of the takeover by Frederic Warburg of Martin Secker, which had gone bust. But those two companies are now forever linked by an ampersand. Harvill Press was founded in 1946, by Manya Harari and Marjorie Villiers, BBC broadcasters who sought to build cultural bridges with Europe after the war. It was for many years part of Collins/HarperCollins, then independent, and was acquired by Random House in 2002 and merged with Secker in 2004, a move that was not without controversy. Be that as it may, next year's events will include a day celebrating international writers at Foyles and a presence at all the major literary festivals. Goodie bags, giveaways, special editions and competitions will run alongside a high-profile media campaign. Harvill Secker's enviable list of writers, including Man Booker winners and Nobel Laureates, is the combined fruit of the rich history of two distinct, and distinguished houses. From Secker comes Thomas Mann, George Orwell, J M Coetzee, Louis de Berni res, G nter Grass and Joseph O'Connor.
