Wer kennt ihn nicht, den Grüffelo? Das schreckliche, schräge, lustige und sympathische Ungeheuer aus der Feder des Erfolgsduo Julia Donaldson und Axel Scheffler feiert in diesem Herbst seinen 10. Geburtstag. Die Geschichte von der kleinen cleveren Maus und dem ungeheuer hungrigen Monster ist eine Erfolgsstory: Übersetzt in 40 Sprachen hat sich das Buch inzwischen weltweit über 3,5 Millionen mal verkauft. Allein in Deutschland gingen 300.000 Exemplare über den Ladentisch. Der Grüffelo erhielt zahlreiche Auszeichnungen, darunter auch den in- ternational renommierten Smarties-Preis. Und in England belegt »Der Grüffelo« sogar Platz 2 auf der „Liste der 100 beliebtesten Kinderbücher“ (Junior). Schon längst zählt das Bilderbuch zu den modernen Klassikern der Kinderliteratur. Axel Scheffler mag die Erzählung noch immer: „Ein ausgedachtes Tier, das es plötzlich doch gibt und das von einer Maus an der Nase herumgeführt wird; die Idee finde ich schön, weil sie hintergründig ist und von kleinen und größeren Kindern und Erwachse- nen jeweils ganz anders verstanden wird.“, fasst der Illustrator das Erfolgsrezept seines bekanntesten Bilderbuchs zusammen. 17 gemeinsame Bilderbücher des Dreamteams Donaldson/Scheffler gibt es inzwischen. Ihr neuestes Abenteuer, Tommi Tatze, erscheint im September. Verlagsgruppe BELTZ BELTZ & Gelberg Pressemappe Willkommen im Grüffelo-Kosmos!

Der „Independant“ vermutete hinter dem genialen Schaffen der beiden gar höhere Weihen: „Julia Donaldson und Axel Scheffler hat der Himmel ge- schickt!“ In Deutschland sind alle Titel der beiden bei Beltz & Gelberg erschienen. Ihr neu- ester Streich ist das Bilderbuch „Tommi Tatze“. 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 ge- macht. Bei Beltz & Gelberg erschienen neben ihren Bilder- büchern auch ihre Romane für Kinder »Prinzessin Spie- gelschön« und, ebenfalls von Scheffler illustriert, »Der kleine Dinosaurier« und »Das Riesenmädchen und die Minipopps«. www.juliadonaldson.co.uk/ Axel Scheffler wurde 1957 in Hamburg geboren und lebt heute als Illustrator in London. Er studierte Kunstgeschichte in Hamburg (»davon ist nix hängen geblieben«), gewann (nach eigenen Vita-Angaben) 1978 bei einem Zeichen- wettbewerb 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 Gelegen- heitsbilder sind mit rätselhaften Tieren garniert, dazu lebensnah mit Affen, Hühnern, Schweinen, Hasen und dicknasigen Personen un- terschiedlicher Herkunft. Als er noch klein war, wollte er Tierforscher werden - was er denn wohl auf seine Art geworden ist. Neben Bilderbuchillustrationen schafft er auch Zeichnungen für Magazine und Zeitschriften sowie für die Werbung. Heute gehört Axel Scheffler zu den bedeutendsten Kinder- und Jugendbuchillustratoren. Gerade erschien das wohl prestigeträchtigste Projekt seiner Laufbahn: Eine illustrierte Ausgabe des T.S. Eliots Klassikers »Old Possums Katzenbuch«. Verlagsgruppe BELTZ BELTZ & Gelberg Pressemappe »Ich bin einfach kein Geschichtenerzähler« – 3 Fragen an Axel Scheffler Lieber Axel Scheffler, Sie sind als Illustrator weltbekannt, haben für Ihre Arbei- ten zahlreiche Preise bekommen, wurden schon von der Queen empfangen und ihr Grüffelo wird weltweit an tausenden Kinderbetten vorgelesen. Können Sie sich noch an ihr erstes Buchprojekt erinnern? Ja, daran kann ich mich noch gut erinnern. Mein erstes Kin- derbuch mit Schwarzweiß-Illustrationen war „The pie-makers“ von Helen Cresswell und mein erstes Bilderbuch war „He Du- da“ von Jon Blake. Das war Anfang der 90er Jahre. Es war damals für mich sehr aufregend, ein Buchprojekt zu bekommen und daran zu arbeiten. Mit dem Erfolg, der spätestens mit „Der Grüffelo“ kam, habe ich damals nicht im Traum gerechnet. Ich dachte immer, ich sei ein mittelmäßiger Zeichner und würde eben meine Bücher so weitermachen. „Der Grüffelo“ erschien in Großbritannien im Frühjahr 1999. Es folgten bis heu- te Übersetzungen in 40 Sprachen und eine ganze Grüffelowelt mit Grüffelokind und Stockmann, mit Familienkalender und Pop-up-Theaterbuch. Wie fing diese Erfolgsgeschichte an? Der Grüffelo entstand so wie alle meine Figuren. Zuerst gab es da den Text von Julia Donaldson, den ich von meinem Verlag bekam. Ich selbst bin kein besonders guter Geschichtenerzähler und konzentriere mich lieber auf die Bilder. Die Geschichte vom Grüffelo hat mir aber sofort gefallen und tut es noch immer. Ein ausgedachtes Tier, das es plötzlich doch gibt und das von einer Maus an der Nase herumgeführt wird; die Idee finde ich schön, weil sie hintergründig ist und von kleinen und größeren Kin- dern und Erwachsenen jeweils ganz anders verstanden wird. Nach der Textvorlage beginne ich dann mit meinen Skizzen. Ich lasse den Text auf mich wirken, denke nicht an das Publikum sondern schaue höchstens mal in einige Tierbücher. Schließlich wollte ich ja auch mal Tierforscher werden. Beim Grüffelo gab es anfangs einige Skizzen, auf denen er noch furchterregender aussah als im Buch: mit fieserem Blick und noch spitzeren Zähnen. Ins Buch hat es dann aber die niedli- chere Variante geschafft. Vom Grüffelo kommen Sie nun nicht mehr los. Er schmuggelt sich in alle Bil- derbücher, die Sie seitdem gemeinsam mit Julia Donaldson gemacht haben. Wie kam das? Aus Spaß habe ich irgendwann damit ange- fangen, einen Grüffelo in anderen Büchern zu verstecken und nun suchen Kinder und Eltern in jedem Buch nach dem Grüffelo. Wahr- scheinlich muss ich jetzt bis ans Ende meiner Tage damit weitermachen.

  • 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! Before publishing any books, Julia began her career in singing and song-writing and wrote many songs for children’s television.
