Der „Independent“ vermutete hinter dem genialen Schaffen der beiden gar höhere Weihen: „Julia Donaldson und Axel Scheffler hat uns der Him- mel geschickt!“ In ihrer (Wahl-)Heimat gehören laut Umfrage gleich acht ihrer Titel zu den 100 beliebtesten Kinderbüchern aller Zeiten. Selbst Premierminister Georg Brown kann sich dem Charme der schlitzohrigen Illustrationen nicht entziehen und be- auftragte Axel Scheffler vor zwei Jahren mit der Gestaltung seiner offiziellen Weihnachtskarten. Zur Zeit arbeitet Scheffler an dem wohl prestigeträchtigsten Projekt seiner Laufbahn: Er wurde mit den Illustrationen der Neuausgabe von T.S. Eliots Klassiker „Old Possum’s Books of Practical Cats“ – eine Aufgabe, um die ihn weltweit Illustratoren beneiden dürften. Julia Donaldson , 1948 in London geboren, arbeitete als Lektorin, Journalistin und Lehrerin. Heute lebt sie als freie Schriftstellerin mit ihrer Familie in Glasgow. Zusammen mit Axel Scheffler hat sie viele erfolgreiche Bilderbücher gemacht. Bei Beltz & Gelberg erschienen neben ihren Bilderbüchern auch ihre Romane für Kinder „Prinzessin Spiegelschön“ und, ebenfalls von Scheffler illustriert, „Der kleine Dinosaurier“ und „Das Riesenmädchen und die Minipopps“. ww.juliadonaldson.co.uk/ Axel Scheffler wurde 1957 in Hamburg geboren und lebt heute als Illustrator in London. Er studierte Kunst- geschichte in Hamburg ("davon ist nix hängen geblieben), gewann (nach eigenen Vita-Angaben) 1978 bei einem Zeichenwettbewerb eine lila Plüschkuh, 1981 ein Kopfkissen (mit Entendaunen) und absolvierte 1982 bis 1985 ein Grafik-Studium im englischen Corsham bei Bath. Seine Cartoons, Illustrationen und satirischen Gelegenheitsbilder sind mit rätsel- haften Tieren garniert, dazu lebensnah mit Affen, Hühnern, Schweinen, Hasen und dicknasigen Personen unterschiedlicher Herkunft. Als er noch klein war, woll- te er Tierforscher werden - was er denn wohl auf seine Art geworden ist. Gibt es für ihn Vorbilder? Klar, die gibt es. Er sagt gern, wen er besonders mag: natürlich Saul Steinberg, auch Ungerer, Sempé, Gorey, William Steig. Das sind sozusagen die "Altmeister". Auch F.K. Waechter, Erlbruch und Rotraut Susanne Berner er- wähnt er gerne. Seine Bilderwelt ist eigenartig genug, um sich jeglicher Einord- nung widersetzen zu können. Neben Bilderbuchillustrationen schafft er auch Zeichnungen für Magazine und Zeitschriften sowie für die Werbung. Heute gehört Axel Scheffler zu den bedeutendsten Kinder- und Jugendbuchillustratoren. In Deutschland sind alle Titel der beiden bei Beltz & Gelberg erschienen. Im Sep- tember kommt ihr neues Buch „Stockmann“ heraus.

Hörcompany EUR 14,90 ISBN 978-3-935036-77-1 Der große Wald ist voller Gefahren. Da ist es gut, wenn man einen starken Freund hat. Und wenn man keinen hat, erfindet man sich eben einen. Die kleine Maus ist unterwegs im Wald und alle scheinen es gut mit ihr zu meinen. Der Fuchs lädt sie zur Götterspeise ein, die Eule bittet zum Tee und die Schlange zum Schlangen-Mäuse-Fest. Aber die Maus hat immer schon eine Verabredung: mit ihrem Freund, dem schrecklichen Grüffelo. Den hat sie sich zwar nur ausge- dacht, aber wenn sie ihn ihren Möchte-gern-Gastgebern beschreibt, wollen die doch lieber alleine bleiben und nicht mehr die Maus verspeisen. Der Grüffelo ist ein praktischer ausgedachter Freund! - Doch dann taucht er auf einmal wirklich auf, und sein Lieblingsschmaus, sagt er, ist Butterbrot mit kleiner Maus. Das ist nicht so praktisch. Aber was eine clevere kleine Maus ist, die lehrt auch einen echten Grüffelo das Fürchten… Auszeichnungen Smarties-Preis Childrens Book of the Year Pressestimmen „Der Grüffelo ist einfach ein Geniestreich!“ FAZ " „… dieses wunderbar gereimte (und offenbar kongenial übersetzte) Bilderbuch gehört zu den wenigen, bei denen es immer wieder Spaß macht sie vorzulesen.“ Der Spiegel "Ein köstlicher Schildbürgerstreich. Julia Donaldson hat das Abenteuer in schöne Reime ge- bracht, während Meisterillustrator Axel Scheffler dazu seine drolligen, kulleräugigen Wesen in die Landschaft zaubert. Ein umwerfendes Buch, das beweist, dass man mit Mut und Köpfchen auch gefährlichen Lügen Beine macht!" spielen + lernen "Schauspielerin Ilona Schulz trägt die Verse von Julia Donaldson so lebendig vor, dass man den Grüffelo fast vor sich sieht." TV Spielfilm Verlagsgruppe BELTZ Beltz & Gelberg Presseinformation Axel Scheffler / Julia Donaldson Stockmann Vierfarbiges Bilderbuch Aus dem Englischen von Wiglaf Droste und Stefan Maelck September 2008 32 Seiten, gebunden Ab 4 Jahre EUR 12,90 / sFr 25,30 ISBN 978-3-407-79375-1 „Scheffler und Donaldson machen gemeinsam weltweit die besten Bilderbü- cher.“ Süddeutsche Zeitung Er ist kein Stock, sondern ein Mann, eben der Stockmann. Mit Herz und Verstand, mit Frau und Kindern. Aber was kümmert das schon den Hund, der mit dem schö- nen Ast spielen möchte, den Schwan, der noch ein Stöckchen für sein Nest braucht oder das Mädchen, das ihn für einen prima Flitzbogen hält? Jede Ver- wechslung führt Stockmann weiter von zu Hause fort, bis er schließlich glaubt, sein letztes Stündlein habe als Brennholz für den Kamin geschlagen. Oder gibt es doch noch Rettung? Originell und mit ihrem typischen Witz zeigen Julia Donaldson und Axel Scheffler, wofür ein Stock so alles gut ist. Kinder (und Erwachsene) werden an all den Ver- wechslungen ihren Heidenspaß haben. Andere, die so manches Mal von den El- tern ‚mitgeschleppt’ werden, ob sie nun wollen oder nicht, kommt Stockmanns Misere vielleicht nur allzu bekannt vor. Aber am Ende geht natürlich alles gut aus. aus: Der bunte Hund, Ausgabe 75/2006 Julia Donaldson – About me Growing up I grew up in a tall Victorian London house with my parents, grandmother, aunt, uncle, younger sister Mary and cat Geoffrey (who was really a prince in dis- guise. Mary and I would argue about which of us would marry him). Mary and I were always creating imaginar y characters and mimicking real ones, and I used to write shows and choreograph ballets for us. A wind-up gramo- phone wafted out Chopin waltzes. I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a gui- tar-playing medic to whom I’m now married. Busking and books Before Malcolm and I had our three sons we used to go busking together and I would write special songs for each country; the best one was in Italian about pasta. The busking led to a career in singing and songwriting, mainly for children’s television. I became an expert at writing to order on such subjects as guinea pigs, window-cleaning and horrible smells. “We want a song about throwing crumpled-up wrapping paper into the bin” was a typical request from the BBC. I also continued to write “grown-up” songs and perform them in folk clubs and on the radio, and have recently released two CDs. One of my television songs, A SQUASH AND A SQUEEZE, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler. It was great to hold the book in my hand without it vanishing in the air the way the songs did. This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. Most children love acting and it’s a tremendous way to improve their reading. My real breakthrough was THE GRUFFALO, again illustrated by Axel. We work separately - he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow - but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes. I really enjoy writing verse, even though it can be fiendishly difficult. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books. Funnily enough, I find it harder to write not in verse, though I feel I am now getting the hang of it! My novel THE GIANTS AND THE JONESES is going to be made into a film by the same team who made the Harry Potter movies, and I have written three books of stories about the anarchic PRINCESS MIRROR- BELLE who appears from the mirror and disrupts the life of an otherwise ordi- nary eight-year-old. I have just finished writing a novel for teenagers. When I’m not writing I am often performing, at book festivals and in theatres. I really enjoy getting the children in the audience to help me act out the sto- ries and sing the songs. When Malcolm can take time off from the hospital he and his guitar come too. and it feels as if we’ve come full circle - back to busk- ing. Mehr auf www.juliadonaldson.co.uk .

  • ZOG ZOOMS INTO WARWICK CASTLE in 2021 - up to 30% Off 2021 Stays with Early Bookings Made Before 31St January
    ZOG ZOOMS INTO WARWICK CASTLE IN 2021 - Up to 30% off 2021 stays with early bookings made before 31st January Monday 14 December 2020: Children around the world know and love Zog, created by award- winning author Julia Donaldson and brought to life by Axel Scheffler’s irresistible illustrations. From early 2021, the lovable young dragon will be the star of a new 3D interactive trail at Warwick Castle, where guests can also enjoy a unique sleepover in the Castle grounds thanks to an early bird booking offer of up to 30% off stays in 2021*. Zog will be crash landing at Warwick Castle just in time for the February half-term holidays with a delightful interactive trail and a whole host of activities planned to help children of all ages to learn new skills, just like he did at Dragon School. The trail will be available every day until 5th September, so there’s plenty of time over the course of the year to visit and earn a golden star. While Zog may have struggled to master the essential dragon arts of flying, roaring and breathing fire, he’ll apply his new skills to help children with five tasks that mirror his own lessons. Highlights along the trail include soaring over the top of the Castle without actually leaving the ground, testing out the Roar-o-meter to find out whether you’re loud enough for a dragon and learning how to capture a princess. Children will collect a stamp for every task they complete. After joining in with the Sir Gadabout Knight Training School as a final challenge, Zog will be there for a meet-and-greet where children can collect golden stars and pose for a souvenir storybook photo.

Our productions link original music with dynamic movement – and lots of laughs. The company was founded in 1997 by directors Olivia Jacobs and Toby Mitchell. Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler Julia Donaldson, the award-winning children’s author, and Axel Scheffler, the celebrated illustrator, first collaborated in 1993 when one of Julia’s songs (A Squash and a Squeeze) was transformed into a book. Since then, the unstoppable duo has collaborated on over twenty books, amongst which emerged The Snail and the Whale, one of Julia’s favourites. Julia lives in Glasgow and Axel in London so they have to create and work separately. But he often sends her letters with funny pictures drawn on the envelopes... Axel has achieved worldwide acclaim for his humorous illustrations, and his books have been translated into over 29 languages. In 2006 he was even called upon to design Gordon Brown’s annual Christmas card!
